NIR as a tool for the identification of paper and inks in conservation research
article
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) was applied to discriminate between different types of paper compositions and to identify the composition and ageing behaviour of iron-gall ink treated samples. By applying NIR, models can be created for certain types of paper compositions and inked samples, making identification of an unknown sample possible. Also the ageing characteristics of paper samples can be followed. NIR application on paper samples proves to be an efficient and swift, reliable and reproducible non-destructive identification method. © 2005 Saur.
