本研究在研製塗佈手工紙,即古代粉箋與粉蠟箋兩類塗佈紙。塗佈顏料包括沉澱型矽土、蒙托土、氫氧化鋁、二氧化鈦、碳酸鈣、白土、滑石粉、雲母及膠態二氧化矽等,除個別使用外,也以不同比例混合使用,接著劑則有聚乙烯醇、乳酪素、動物膠及澱粉四種,其他添加劑有耐水化劑、表面上膠劑、蠟乳液及有色顏料,塗佈紙張的壓光變因則有線壓及通過壓縫次數。所有塗佈紙張壓光後測定墨色、光澤度及表面強度。另外也研製有色粉蠟箋並與有名的乾隆年仿澄心堂紙比較耐光性。顏料及接著劑的種類對塗佈手工紙之墨色、光澤度及拔蠟度有顯著影響;耐水化劑、表面上膠劑及蠟乳液的添加稍影響墨色、蠟乳液有效增加紙張光澤度;自製之紅色蠟箋有優異的耐光性。
In this study, we prepared coated handmade papers, which are referred to in ancient Chinese literature as 2 genres of Fengchien and Fenglachien. The coating materials employed included precipitated silicate, montmorillonite clay, aluminum hydroxide, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, kaolin, talc, mica, colloidal silica, etc. In addition to in dividual applications, these materials were also blended in various proportions and then applied. Coating binders included polyvinyl alcohol, casein, animal glue, and starch. Other additives included an in so lubilizer, surface sizing agents, waxemulsion, and colored dyestuffs. Ca lendering of the coated sheets consisted of different nip pressures and different numbers of passes through the nips. All coated sheets were evaluated for their post-calen dering ink holdout, gloss, and surface strengths. Colored varieties of handmade sheets were also prepared, and the ir optical stabilities were tested against a sample of imitation Chengh sin tang paper made during the era of Emperor Chien-Lung in the Ching Dynasty (AD 1736-1795). There were significant effects of pigment and binder types on the ink-holdout, gloss, and Dennison wax pick strength of the coated papers. The addition of an in solubilizer, surface sizing agents, and wax emulsions affected in k-holdout to some extent while the latter effectively improved the gloss of the handmade papers. The red lachien we prepared exhibited superior colorfast tness under light exposure.
