Summary: Due to their delicate nature, paper relics are prone to damage and aging. Finding waterproof, anti-aging, and reversible composites that meet the requirements of paper relic preservation is a challenging task. This study prepared carboxymethyl cellulose/fluorine/vinyl acetate/acrylate (CMC/F/VAc/A) composites with varying fluorine contents, and analyzed their stability, viscosity, surface tension, contact angle, swelling degree, chemical structure, hardness, surface morphology, and thermal stability. The results showed that a composite with a 25 wt.% dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate content exhibited excellent performance in terms of anti-aging and reversibility, making it an effective protective coating for paper relics.
