三星堆遗址出土饱水象牙文物的加固保护研究

A Study on the Reinforcement and Protection of Water-Saturated Ivory Artifacts Unearthed from the Sanxingdui Site

  • 摘要: 三星堆遗址是迄今为止中国西南地区发现的分布范围最广、延续时间最长、文化内涵最丰富的古蜀文化遗址。该遗址出土的大量、成批的古象牙及象牙器文物具有重要的历史文化价值和科学研究价值。由于出土的象牙文物含水率高、酥粉严重,同时常规骨质文物加固材料(如羟基磷灰石、碳酸钙、Paraloid B72)等渗透性差,导致其加固效果欠佳。为了更有效加固与保护酥粉饱水象牙文物,在认识三星堆遗址出土象牙组成结构和病害类型的基础上,合成制备绿色柔性长链硅氧烷材料对酥粉饱水象牙文物样品进行滴渗加固实验研究,并采用电子万能试验机、静态水接触角测试仪和扫描电子显微镜对加固前后象牙文物的力学性能、微形貌特征和表面水浸润性能进行分析。结果表明,制备的硅氧烷加固材料在饱水象牙文物样品内的渗透性能较好,能够有效填充其孔洞缺陷,防止象牙本体收缩坍塌;加固后象牙文物的力学性能和疏水性能显著提高,且不改变文物原有形貌,是一种适用于潮湿环境下酥粉较为严重的出土饱水象牙文物加固材料。

     

    Abstract: Sanxingdui site is the ancient Shu cultural ruins with the widest distribution, longest duration and richest cultural connotation found so far in southwest China. The large number of ancient ivory artifacts unearthed at this site have important historical, cultural, and scientific research value. Due to the high moisture content and serious crisp powder problem of the unearthed ivory artifacts, the conventional reinforcement materials for bone artifacts such as hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate and Paraloid B72 have poor permeability and unsatisfactory reinforcement effect. In order to effectively protect ivory artifacts, the green flexible long chain siloxane material was synthesized, and the reinforcement experimental research was carried out by drip infiltration on the basis of understanding the composition structure and disease types of ivory artifacts unearthed at Sanxingdui site. The mechanical properties, micro-morphology and surface water infiltration of reinforced ivory artifacts were studied by means of electronic universal testing machine, scanning electron microscope and static water contact angle tester.The results showed that the prepared siloxane materials had good permeability in the water-saturated ivory artifacts, thus effectively filling the hole defects and preventing the collapse of the body. The mechanical properties and hydrophobicity of the ivory reinforced by the siloxane materials were significantly improved, and the original appearance of the ivory artifacts was not changed. The prepared siloxane materials were suitable for the reinforcement protection of the ivory artifacts with severe crispy powder problem excavated in humid environment.
