Comparison of Aging Performances and Mechanisms: Super-Durable Fire-Resistant “Xuan Paper” Versus Chinese Traditional Xuan Paper by Li-Ying Dong, Ying-Jie Zhu, Jin Wu, Han-Ping Yu

“…In this article, the super-durable fire-resistant “Xuan paper” based on ultralong HAP nanowires and the traditional Xuan paper based on cellulose fibers were evaluated by the accelerated aging method for 1200 days at 105 °C in air, which is the equivalent of 10,000 years of natural aging in the ambient environment. The aging mechanism of the traditional Xuan paper was further investigated by studying the fiber length/width and their distributions, morphology, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, H–nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and C–nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of cellulose fibers before and after the accelerated aging. …”
