Description
Proceeding from the presentation “Nanocelluloses and nanocellulose films: Opportunities in the conservation and restoration of historical documents” by José António Ferreira Gamelas, presented at the 15th International Joint Meeting GLUPOR 15 & GLYCOTwinning 2025 (Coimbra, 15–17 September 2025).
The work discusses the preparation and properties of nanocellulose films and their potential application in the conservation and restoration of historical paper documents, particularly those written with iron gall ink. Results are compared with traditional Japanese paper used for mending, highlighting advantages and limitations of nanocellulose-based materials.
Developed within the BIOBASED2UC project.
BIOBASED2UC - "Exploring novel bio-based materials and their applications in conservation and restoration with a new interdisciplinary team" has received funding from the European Union, through European Research Executive Agency (number: 101186492).
