Implication

Observational analysis revealed that temperature and humidity significantly affect mechanical properties in palm leaf manuscripts, indicating optimal conditions for preservation.

Key Points

  • Mechanical properties of palm leaf manuscripts degrade under extreme temperatures and relative humidity.
  • Flexural modulus and strength are particularly influenced by temperature, with temperature effects being pronounced.
  • Chemical analysis using FT-IR showed significant degradation of cellulose and hemicelluloses during environmental exposure.
  • Optimal preservation requires maintaining stable conditions around 25 °C and 50% RH with limited light exposure.
