Abstract
It is preferable to employ synthetic adhesives for books in order to prevent microbial deterioration and infestations; however, although synthetic adhesives produce satisfying technical results, restorers find that they are not as easy to apply as natural ones and good results are not always achieved. It was in the light of these problems that we undertook the present study, in the hope of opening up new prospects and reconciling, at least in part, practical and biological needs. Our goal was to compare the biodegradability of unmodified maize starch with maize starch which has been modified by etherification.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
