Description

This paper examines and compares the thermal stability and mechanical changes during hygrothermal weathering of cellulosic materials, like those found in heritage textile collections. The influence of fibre type and fibre content was evaluated using TGA and DTA measurements, as well as tensile tests for different natural fibres: cotton, flax and hemp. The results of this study may help researchers choose the most appropriate conservation treatment for each textile collection.
