The BIOREM project aims at developing eco-friendly, sustainable mechanical reinforcement treatments for fragile Cultural Heritage papers using bio-based polymers. Polymers carrying basic functional groups capable of deacidifying the paper will be chosen. Bio-based amino polymers (BAPs) such as chitosan, amino-dextran, and ε-polylysine, which have yet to be explored for paper conservation, will be tested. The eco-treatments, will be formulated to guarantee solutions that meet both conservation requirements and current ecological challenges. They will be characterized using physicochemical analyses (pH, mechanical and rheological properties, FTIR, NMR). The best performing formulations will be tested on archival papers within the BIOCARE doctoral project.
