The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cellulose nanofiber treatment on discoloration of historical papers. In this study, two types of cellulose nanofiber suspensions with a concentration of 1% by weight with water and ethanol were prepared. After treatment, the prepared samples were subjected to moist-heat aging according to TAPPI T 544 sp-03 standard and colorimetric, pH, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and SEM microscopy were performed before and after aging. Examination of ATR-FTIR spectra obtained from the samples showed that the application of cellulose nanofiber treatment does not cause damage to the paper structure. After application of two treatments with cellulose nanofibers, the color of the samples became brighter, but after accelerated aging, the brightness of the samples decreased.The darkening of the color of the samples was caused by their exposure to accelerated aging conditions and the treatment of cellulose nanofibers did not cause discoloration. The pH of the samples increased after application of both types of cellulose nanofiber treatments, but after accelerated aging, the pH decreased slightly.

Paper is a dominant tool that is traditionally used for recording human knowledge and cultural heritage. Paper as organic material is at risk of biodegradation processes by various microorganisms including fungi, which cause irreversible degradation, color modification and instability of the historical papers. Thus, the utilization of appropriate conservation methods and restoration treatments to minimize the adverse effects of fungi on historical papers have received great attention. Recently, Benomyl as an antifungal revealed a significant inhibitory effect on the fungal growth on the historical papers. In this study, the effect of Benomyl on gall ink as a popular and important ink used in cultural heritage was investigated. In a first step of the evaluation, the gall ink was prepared based on the historical recipes and then was implemented on surface on filter paper. The prepared samples were dipped into 100 ppm Benomyl-ethanol solution and aged after drying. The effect of Benomyl on gall ink was evaluated by the pH values of aqueous extracts, CIE Colorimetry, paper strengths, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy and SEM microscopy. Results indicated that the Benomyl in concentration of 100 ppm had no adverse effect on the gall ink and paper surface. However, dipping of paper in the Benomyl-ethanol solution resulted in a significant loss of paper strengths. In order to overcome this problem, it would be necessary to use a suitable solvent or another technique such as spraying for surface application of Benomyl.

Abstract
Wood samples of seven Iranian hardwood species including: Beech (Fagus orientalis), Oak (Quercus castaneaefolia), Hombeam (Carpinus betulus), Alder (Alnus subcordata), Oriental plane (Platanus orientalis), Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Babul (Acacia arabica) were treated with Creosote and Celcure. Then ...

Wood samples of seven Iranian hardwood species including: Beech (Fagus orientalis), Oak (Quercus castaneaefolia), Hombeam (Carpinus betulus), Alder (Alnus subcordata), Oriental plane (Platanus orientalis), Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Babul (Acacia arabica) were treated with Creosote and Celcure. Then the samples were installed in the sea water of Bandar Abbas coast (Persian Gulf) for a period of 36 months. During 9, 12, 18 and 36 months, the samples were inspected according with recommendation of IRG/WP/4432(l985).The results showed that, untreated samples of all species were not resisted to the marine borers. The samples treated with creosote using full cell process increased durability of all species expect Hombeam and Babul. Treated samples with celcure were not resisted very well and after 15 months were destroyed.

7 hard wood species including: Beech (Fagus orientalis), Oak (Quercus castaneafolia), Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), Alder (Alnus subcordata), Oriental plane (Platanus orientalis), Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Babul (Acacia arabica) were treated with Creosote and Celcure. The dimensions of samples were 20 x 7.5 x 2 cm. Both preservative treated and untreated samples were placed in seawater in Mahshahr (Persian Gulf), Bandar Torkman and Noshahr (Caspian Sea) coasts according to IRGIWP-4432 (1985). In Mahshahr after 8, 17, 23, 28, 35 and 49 months, in Bandar Torkman after 8, 14, 22, 29, and 39 months and in Noshahr after 8, 18, 25, 31 and 40 months, the samples were inspected according with recommendation of IRG/WP-4432 (1985) and ASTM D-2481. All the control samples (untreated wood) of Beech, Oak, Hornbeam and Alder over 22 months, Oriental plane over 25 months and Babul over 20 months, were seriously attacked. Untreated Eucalyptus and all the treated samples with celcure and creosote were sound. All the treated and untreated samples in Caspian Sea were sound. It is concluded that there is no marine borers in south coasts of Caspian Sea.

Four hardwood species including: Alder (Alnus subcordata), Oriental plane (Platanus orientalis), Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Babul (Acacia arabica) were treated with Creosote and Celcure. The dimension of samples was 20 x 7.5 x 2 cm. Both preservative treated and untreated samples were placed in seawater (Boshehr in Persian Gulf) according to IRG/WP-4432 (1985). After 9, 15, 24, 29, 38, 47, 53, 58 and 64 months, the samples were inspected according with recommendation of IRG/WP-4432(1985) and ASTM D- 240. All the control samples (untreated wood) of Alder and Oriental plane over 9 months, Eucalyptus and Babul over 20 months, were seriously attacked. Treated samples with Celcure of Alder and Oriental plane after 38 months were completely damaged and Eucalyptus over 38 months were severely degraded. Creosote treated samples of Eucalyptus over 58 months and Babul over 38 months were seriously attacked. Creosote treated of Alder and Oriental plane samples after 64 months installation were sound. It can be concluded that treatment with Creosote using full cell process (Bethel) increased resistance of investigated wood species against marine borers.

The dimension of samples were 200 x 7 x 20 mm. Both treated and untreated samples were placed in sea water (Boshehr in Persian Gulf) according to IRG/WP-4432(l985). After 5, 9, 15, 24, 29 and 38 months, the samples were inspected according to recommendation of ASTM D 248. The control samples (untreated wood) of Beech, Hornbeam after 9 months, the samples of Oak after 14 months, seriously attacked. Treated samples of Beech, Oak and Hornbeam with celcure, after 14 months, were seriously attacked. Creosote, treated samples of Beech, after 29 months, Oak and Hornbeam after 38 months were seriously attacked. It can be concluded that treatment with creosote using full cell process (Bethell) increased resistance of investigated wood species against marine borers.
