Abstract

Animal glue is a traditional material used extensively as adhesive and binder in mother-of-pearl, wooden structure, traditional painting, etc. Analysis of animal glue is usually performed with IR(infrared spectroscopy) based on the IR absorption of functional group. But, it has a limitation in confirming animal glue when a sample consists of several materials because of overlapping of the absorption band. Py/GC/MS(pyrolysis/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) is a useful tool in analyzing the constituent of polymeric materials like animal glue by identifying their pyrolysate with very small amount of sample. In this study, confirmation of animal glue in a Dancheong sample was tried with this method. Characteristic pyrolytic compounds of animal glue and tung oil used in Dancheong were identified. Dancheong sample painted with Noerok as a coloring material, animal glue and tung oil was prepared and it was possible to find characteristic peaks of animal glue after thermal degradation and artificial weathering experiment. From this, we found that animal glue can be detected using py/GC/MS in cultural heritage samples consisting of several materials and in different condition. IR was also tried to analyze Dancheong sample and the results were compared with those of py/GC/MS for the detection of animal glue.

아교는 나전, 목가구, 단청 등 문화재에 접착제 및 교착제로 광범위하게 사용돼 온 전통재료이다. 아교의 분석과 확인은 주로 IR에 의한 작용기의 확인을 통해 이루어졌으나 몇 가지 물질이 섞여 있는 경우 밴드의 중복 등에 의해 명확하게 아교를 확인하는데 어려움이 있다. 열분해/GC/MS분석은 소량의 시료로 열분해 산물의 화학성분을 알 수 있어 아교 등 고분자 재료의 성분을 분석하는데 유용하다. 본 연구에서는 단청 시편에서 아교를 이 방법으로 확인하고자 하였다. 우선, 단청 채색에 사용되는 아교, 동유에 대한 열분해/GC/MS 분석을 실시하여 주요하면서 특징적인 열분해산물을 확인하였다. 또한, 뇌록을 칠한 단청시편을 제작하여 열충격 시험과 인공 풍화 시험 후에 분석을 했을 때 약화가 되긴 하였지만 아교의 특징적인 peak의 검출이 가능하였다. 이로부터, 단청과 같이 다양한 재료와 풍화상태로 구성된 문화재에서 아교의 검출이 열분해/GC/MS로 가능함을 확인하였다. 아울러, 단청 시편을 IR로 분석하여 IR과 열분해/GC/MS 분석 간에 아교 검출 능력을 비교하였다.
