Abstract:

In order to investigate the influence of wet and thermal environments on the preservation of silk cultural relics, silk (Bombyx mori) samples were aged by dry heat and damp heat at 110 ℃ and 130 ℃, respectively. Material testing machine, colorimeter, scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer were used to measure and analyze the tensile strength, color, micro-morphology and structure of simulated silk samples before and after aging. The life prediction equation of silk fabrics was proposed. The results show that the tensile strength of the samples decrease linearly with the aging time, while the color turned yellow. After dry heat and damp heat aging, the fiber surfaces show different degrees of damage, and in the latter condition pores formed by fiber bundle interlacing are more significantly corroded than other parts. The content of β-sheet in the secondary structure is significantly reduced, consistent with the trend of strength change. The work reveals that the low temperature and dry condition are suitable for the preservation of silk cultural relics.

Key words: silk fabric, dry heat aging, damp heat aging, life prediction, preservation of cultural relics
