Abstract

Museums around the world are filled with large number of cellulosic ‎materials, like textiles that have suffered from the scourge of the consequences of being exposed to the destructive processes of its fibres, dyes, inks, ‎mordants, etc., due to the exposure to the action of transition metals; in a ‎famous mechanism worthy of study, this means valuable sources are lost ‎from time to time. For this, the foregoing motivated this chapter to move ‎toward finding and identifying the causes of these destructive ‎mechanisms of the cellulosic fibres. Not only this, but also to try to find ways ‎that would measure the degree of what results from exposure to destructive ‎interactions, especially the weakness of mechanical properties, free radicals ‎content, depolymerization, and the demise in some cases; as well as the ‎fading and darkening of dyes and inks, or disappearance completely in many ‎cases. Besides the darkening of cellulosic substrates, this chapter ‎will deal with experimental studies, as well as citations and reference studies.
