Chemiluminescence - a novel tool in paper conservation studies Record Control Number: 57254 Quality Validation Date: 2003-05-15 Update Date: 2003-05-20 Project Acronym: PAPYLUM Title: Chemiluminescence - a novel tool in paper conservation studies Subject Index : Environmental Protection; Innovation, Technology Transfer; Social Aspects Objective: The aim of this project is to use chemiluminescent phenomena, i.e. the ultra-weak emission of light associated with material oxidation and degradation, for assessing the thermo- and photo-oxidative degradation pathways of historical objects of cellulosic origin, e.g. paper. To the present day, chemiluminescence studies have provided valuable new insight into the degradation of artificial polymers, yet application of the technique to the investigation of paper degradation has so far not been attempted due to the lack of sensitive equipment. By developing a much-needed chemiluminescence instrument with non-destructive sampling and by the evaluation of scientific data to be obtained, we will be able to estimate the rate of degradation of library materials and the adequacy of existing conservation treatments. This will enable us to standardise conservation procedures and to plan future preservation and RTD actions.
