Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for processing materials containing fibers as well as materials and systems obtainable by this method.
  • the invention further relates to the use of a mixture containing a polymer for processing a material containing fibers, the use of dimethyl sulfoxide as an antioxidant in the processing of paper and the use of ionic liquids as an antimicrobial agent for processing paper.
  • Organic materials containing fibers, especially paper undergo mechanical destabilization by degrading the fiber-forming macromolecules, such as cellulose macromolecules, over time. Especially in the case of paper, this can lead to the paper being destabilized so much that the books from this paper can no longer be used.
  • the problems of destabilization, especially aging are not limited to paper and cellulosic materials in general, such as wood, but are generally a problem for materials containing fibers. In order to counteract this problem, appropriate processing methods for the material containing fibers needed. Paper, especially printed paper in books, as a material containing fibers makes this with the highest demands on the processing method, which is why the further discussion on the example of paper, especially of printed paper should be made.
  • the processing method should not only allow single-sheet processing.
  • the method should rather be able to process several sheets at once. In this case, gluing the sides together should be avoided.
  • the method should not damage the binding of a book and / or the binding or back gluing of the leaves. In this way, the process can be carried out more economically, since several sheets can be processed simultaneously or entire books at once and eliminates the separation of the leaves from books.
  • the method should not attack the paper in any other way, especially the paper should not swell irreversibly.
  • the ink and / or inks on the paper being processed should not be washed out by the process. At the same time, however, it is desirable that the processing of the paper is not only superficial, but ideally attaches to the entire paper.
  • the irradiation with gamma rays leads to a further damage to the paper, by impregnation with acrylic acid bleeding colors and inks on the paper, at least partially, and remaining in the paper residue monomers lead to an odor nuisance.
  • this method is difficult to combine with other common means of paper restoration.
  • the processing of paper by lamination is known, wherein a thin polymer film or a thin stabilizing paper is applied to one side or both sides of the paper.
  • the processed paper stack often does not fit in the book cover after processing because of increasing paper thickness.
  • the handle and the appearance of the paper are changed.
  • the contrast decreases due to the applied layers. Further is This method is difficult to combine with other common means of paper restoration.
  • a well-known method for processing paper is the so-called Viennese method, which is incorporated in the EP 0 273 9602 A2 is described.
  • Viennese method the material to be processed is impregnated in an aqueous solution containing methylcellulose to strengthen the paper.
  • the processing solution is pumped out, remnants of the processing solution are allowed to drip off the processed paper, and the paper is then snap-frozen and freeze-dried.
  • the disadvantage of this method is mainly that book covers are damaged, which is why the leaves of the book must be removed before editing.
  • a derivatized polymer must be used with methylcellulose.
  • the DE 100 57 554 A1 describes a process in which the paper to be processed is processed with a silylated polymer derivative such as silylated cellulose dissolved in a nonpolar solvent. The silyl groups are then cleaved off by the action of moisture or water.
  • a disadvantage of this method is the mandatory use of derivatized polymers.
  • the EP 3 072 933 A1 describes alkaline nanoparticles comprising at least one hydroxide or carbonate or an organic compound of an alkaline earth metal and optionally a hydrophilic cellulose derivative and a stabilizing outer layer of hydrophobic polymers for the deacidification and consolidation of cellulose-based artifacts.
  • the nanoparticles must first be synthesized.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a process for processing, in particular for strengthening, of material containing fibers, in particular paper, which at least partially overcomes one or more disadvantages of the processes known from the prior art.
  • a method is desirable with which bulk processing of damaged paper can occur.
  • the paper to be processed should not be further harmed.
  • the paper to be processed should be consolidated. Any existing inks and inks should not bleed on the paper being processed.
  • the covers and / or the paper back sizing should not be damaged by the process.
  • a particular advantage of the process according to the invention is that by using a polar aprotic solvent it is also possible to use non-derivatized polymers such as, for example, cellulose as the at least one polymer in the process according to the invention. Furthermore, by the use of a polar aprotic solvent mixtures, in particular solutions, can be produced with a low viscosity, which are particularly suitable for processing books or similar substrates.
  • gluing of the sides can be avoided with the method according to the invention.
  • the use of the polar aprotic solvent further allows a wide range of possibilities to treat the mixture of the material to be processed containing fibers and the mixture, so that at least a part of the polymer is attached to the fibers of the material containing fibers.
  • the process according to the invention can be combined with other processes, in particular deacidification processes.

  • the polymer may be wholly or partly attached to the material containing fibers, in particular to the fibers of the material containing fibers. When the polymer is only partially attached to the fibers of the material containing fibers, a residual amount of polymer remains in the mixture. By attachment, the fibers of the material containing fibers are preferably completely or partially encased. As a result, a consolidation of the fiber can be achieved.
  • Derivatized polymers may be, in particular, those polymers obtained by a chemical modification of another polymer.
  • the derivatization can also be reversible, so that the original polymer can be recovered.
