Description
Summary:This article presents details of the rationale used in setting up a research project, describes the characterization of the 25 different papers and textiles selected for study, and gives an in-depth discussion of the purpose, advantages, and disadvantages of the 10 different analytical procedures used. The project investigated the effects of a fumigant, sulphuryl fluoride (Vikane), on cellulosic and ligneous materials. The data gathered by this project will be presented at a later date.
