Preparation and application of epoxy cyclohexane/chitosan/methyl methacrylate composite material

Abstract

Abstract As a cultural carrier of historical inheritance, paper has high cultural, historical and scientific research value. But with the passage of time and the change of the environment, many paper are aging and damaged. In order to protect the paper, epoxy cyclohexane/chitosan/methyl methacrylate composite material for paper protection was synthesized by radical grafting polymerization with potassium persulfate (KPS) as initiator and disodium hydrogen phosphate (DSP) as buffer reagent. Through single factor experiment, the synthetic condition was obtained as follows: 3 g of monomer dosage, 7.5 mL of initiator, 80 °C of reaction temperature, 3 h of reaction time. The aging test showed that the coating material could obviously improve the mechanical properties and anti-aging properties of paper. The reversibility experiment shows that the composite material has certain reversibility. The acid and alkali salt resistance experiment shows that the coating material could effectively resist external acid and alkali corrosion and protect paper. This study provides some theoretical guidance for the protection of paper cultural relics.
