PHMG-KH560 as antifungal and reinforcement media for paper materials
Improving the strength decrease caused by fungal metabolites is still an arduous task in the field of paper materials protection. A set of damaged Kangxi Dictionary from Qing Dynasty was chosen as samples in this work. The main goal of this work is to develop high-efficiency and eco-friendly media with the characteristics of antifungal and reinforcement, to preserve paper materials and continue the historical and scientific research value of cultural heritage. PHMG as an efficient antifungal was used in this work. For better behavior, the epoxy group of KH560 can be induced by the amino group in PHMG by ring opening reaction to form PHMG-KH560 colloidal complex. Spraying PHMG-KH560 on paper could establish Si-O-C bonding and increased the hydrogen bond between polymeric material and paper fibers, which simultaneously inhibited fungi and improved mechanical strength of the original paper, even after the artificial aging. PHMG-KH560 had certain antifungal activity against five fungi, such as Aspergillus versicolor, and Aspergillus Niger , and had better inhibitory effect on Cladosporium herbarum, Trichoderma viride , and Penicillium expansum . The ancient writing ink on the paper sprayed with PHMG-KH560 did not affect its visual beauty, which also indicated that the complex reagent was expected to be applied to the antifungal and reinforcement of paper materials.
