Abstract

Verdigris is a traditional artificial pigment reported on old research papers and according to the methods mentioned in the literature, it is manufactured by the corrosion of copper or copper alloys using vinegar and by further scraping the generated rust. Since the Three Kingdoms Period, various household products with copper alloys, such as bronze and brass, have been used, and pigment analysis of these cultural heritage items has revealed the presence of tin, zinc, lead, and copper in green pigments. Based on these data, five types of verdigris were prepared from copper and copper alloys, and analyzed. the analysis results revealed a bluish green pigmentation, and the chromaticity, particle shape, and oil absorption quantity of each verdigris differed based on the type of copper alloy used in its preparation. The main components of verdigris are Cu, Sn, Zn and Pb, and their proportions depended on the type of copper alloy used during manufacturing. However, the main constituent mineral of the pigments is the same as 'hoganite[Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O]', regardless of the copper alloy used. The result of accelerated weathering test for stability evaluation revealed that verdigris was discolored rapidly, thereby indicating that its stability was low, in particular, the pigments comprising lead presented relatively lower stability.

동록(銅綠)은 고문헌에 기록되어 있는 전통적인 인공안료 중 하나이다. 고문헌에 기록되어 있는 제법에 따르면, 동록은 동(銅)을 초(醋)를 이용해 부식시키고 생성된 녹을 긁어모아 제조한다. 삼국시대 이후 청동, 황동 등의 동합금을 이용한 다양한 동기(銅器)가 사용되었으며, 채색문화재의 안료분석 연구를 통해 녹색안료에서 구리뿐만 아니라 주석, 아연, 납 등의 검출이 확인되었다. 이와 같은 자료를 바탕으로 구리 및 청동, 황동 등의 구리합금으로 5종의 동록안료를 제조하고 특성 규명을 위한 분석을 수행한 결과, 제조된 동록안료는 청록색을 나타내며, 제조에 사용된 동판의 종류에 따라 색상, 입자형태, 흡유량 등 물성에 차이를 보였다. 또한, 동록안료의 주요 구성원소는 Cu, Sn, Zn, Pb 등으로, 각 원소의 함유 비율은 사용된 동판의 합금 종류에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 동록안료를 구성하는 주요 구성광물은 동판의 종류에 상관없이 호가나이트[hoganite, Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O]로 확인되었다. 촉진내후성 시험을 통해 안정성을 평가한 결과, 동록안료는 전체적으로 빠르게 색변화가 나타나 안정성이 낮은 것으로 보이며, 특히 납 성분을 함유한 경우에는 더 빠르게 색변화가 나타나 상대적으로 취약한 모습을 보였다.
