| Abstract:Tibetan paper is a kind of ethnic handmade paper choosed, which is widely used in the writing of classics, government documents, file files, etc., and is also used for the repair of scriptures and archives. In order to scientifically confirm the good performance of Tibetan paper, a reasonable specification for Tibetan paper was prepared and its durability was studied. We chose 4 kinds of paper （Zhikong Tibetan paper, Dongba paper, Xuan paper and Mulberry Paper） to compare their properties （such as whiteness, folding endurance, tension stress） before and after accelerating aging. The study showed that the variation of the properties of Zhikong Tibetan paper was not obvious. Before and after accelerating aging, the durability of the whiteness, folding endurance and tension stress of the Zhikong Tibetan paper were 95.22%, 74.65%, 79.71%, respectively. These data were superior to other handmade papers, which fully demonstrated that Zhikong Tibetan paper had good durability． |
