본 연구는 16세기 과거에서 낙방한 시권(試紙)인 낙폭지(落幅紙)가 어떻게 재활용되었는지에 대해 고 찰하는 것이 목적이다. 과거 시험 답안지는 시권, 시지(試紙), 명지(名紙), 과지(科紙)라 하였으며 두껍고 품질 좋은 종이가 사용되었다. 국가의 특별한 경사가 있거나 왕이 친림한 과거 시험의 경우 응시자에게 국가에서 시지를 제공하였으나, 그 외 3년마다 치르는 정기시험인 식년시(式年試)는 개인이 별도로 마련하였다. 전국 각 도와 한성부에서 치러졌던 초시(初試)를 비롯한 복시(覆試), 별시(別試), 증광시(增廣試), 춘당대시(春塘臺試) 등 과거 응시자의 수는 조선 후기로 갈수록 증가하였다. 이 때문에 시지 마련은 응시자 개인뿐 아니라 국가의 부담으로 작용하게 되었다. 조선시대 과거에 합격한 시지는 응시자에게 돌려주었으나 불합격한 시지의 경우는 돌려주지 않고 국가에서 재활용하였다. 낙폭지는 북방 군사들의 추위를 막는 방한용 의복인 지의(紙衣)로 사용되었으며, 화전(火箭), 가슴을 가리는 갑옷인 엄심갑(掩心甲), 비를 막는 장막용이나 우의(雨衣)로 사용되었다. 낙폭지는 건물 내부 도배 재료로 초배(初褙)에 이용되었으며, 그림이나 책의 배접용으로 활용되었다. 16세기 『묵재일기』에는 이문건이 32년간 성주 지방에서 유배 생활을 하며 인근 지역 관인(官人)과 지인들을 통해 주기적으로 낙폭지를 입수했던 기록을 살필 수 있다. 지방의 종이 제작 정도, 종이 수급 현황, 낙폭지 재활용에 대한 구체적인 양상을 통해 일상 속 종이 재활용 상황을 파악하는 단서를 제공하였다.

본 연구에서는 친환경 인테리어용으로 개발된 벽포지에 대해 방염성능이 시험되었다. 실제로 방염성능은 "45$^{\circ}$ 연소시험" 및 "접염시험", 그리고 "연기밀도시험"에 의해서 수행되었다. 벽포지의 주성분이 고온에서 쉽게 용융하는 PET(폴리에스터) 이다. PET의 이런 물성으로 인하여 "45$^{\circ}$ 연소시험"과 "연기밀도시험"의 요구조건들은 쉽게 만족시킬 수 있었지만, 용융 물품에 대해 추가로 요구되는 "접염시험"은 통과하기 어려웠다. 총 47종 109점에 대해 방염성능시험을 수행한 결과 18종 54점이 요구조건을 만족하였다. 일반적으로 보드에 배접된 상태로 시공되는 모듈의 난연성능을 개선하기 위해서는 벽포지의 방염성능뿐만 아니라 보드, 접착제 등의 특성에 관한 보다 많은 연구가 필요하다.

Conventional imaging techniques such as ultraviolet, infrared, and X-ray are used mainly to diagnose the damaged parts of the painted cultural assets in Korea. These techniques, however, have limits in diagnosing damages of interlayer parts. We have performed and extensive study on the applicability of Terahertz(THz) analysis technique, introduced recently to this field of study on cultural properties in Korea, to diagnose painted cultural assets. The specimens, produced to imitate the damage types of Korean painted properties, were analyzed over their painting, supporting, and backing layers by terahertz pulse imaging technique. The analyzed results provided information about the cracks, the separated areas, and the separated distances between layers on the specimens. Our research, then, was extended to real painted cultural remains, Birojana Sam-shin Gwebul-do at Bongseon Temple in Namyang-ju, Korea National Treasure Number 1792, through which we have obtained 3D information about the extent and pattern of damages to the asset. These results demonstrate that terahertz 3D imaging technique has the capability of noncontact 3D diagnosis on painted cultural properties.

Buddha painting cultural properties couldn't avoid the change of colors and the exfoliation phenomenon by the characteristic of material and environmental factors. Especially, because in the beginning of the fine crack and the decoloration phenomenon on the surface of pigment would be significantly decrease stability of the whole object, it is necessary to take particular measure. Therefore, this is a study on conservation of Avalokitesvara in Potalaka in Hyeondeungsa in Gapyeong. It treated damaged parts of the object, carried out backing papers and matching colors. And then, it examined scientific analysis of pigments. Also, it performed nondestructive testing like XRF, FT-IR, and image microscope to investigate the quality of the material of hanji using the object and the component and characteristic of pigments. As a result, FT-IR spectrum matching Korean traditional paper(hanji) was detected in hanji of Avalokitesvara in Potalaka in Hyeondeungsa. The black pigment making a thin layer over the white pigment would estimate carbon compounds of unconfirmed ink stick or soot as XRF and FT-IR. Also, the white pigment was lead white($PbCO_3{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$) involving Pb(Lead) and a carbonate. It was observed that the crystal of blue pigment had the different sizes of the particles from the microscope. In the case of this blue pigment, it showed cobalt blue and lead white was mixed when it used because both Cu and Pb were highly detected in XRF data.

In the present study, safe management and value improvement of bamboo sunblind, which is an item of cultural heritage, were performed by adopting stable conservation treatment methods. The bamboo sunblind used in the present study was excavated from No. 1 catchment site in Baesanseongji, Busan. It was determined that the main material used to make the sunblind was bamboo, and herbal plants were used to weave the bamboo using lacquer as an adhesive agent. All contaminants and soil adhered to the sunblind was removed. Thereafter, the sunblind, which was recovered in the form of blocks, was washed separately after fixing it to a temporary plaster frame and to avoid the blocks from breaking during washing. Then, polyethylene glycol (PEG) impregnation was utilized for the reinforcement treatment. Based on the preliminary test results, the shape of the sunblind was fixed using a stainless-steel frame to prevent physical damage that may occur during the drying process. Thereafter, the bamboo sunblind was vacuum freeze-dried. PEG 20% (in ethyl alcohol) was applied as a surface treatment agent for stabilization the sunblind. After the surface treatment, the bamboo sunblind were joined together to fit the maximum width, and the rectangular shape of the sunblind was restored-as best as possible-while filling in the missing parts by maximizing the use of unknown members such as in the disturbed layers below bamboo sunblind surface. The conservation treatment was completed by fixing the bamboo sunblind into the fabricated frame.

"Jocheonillgi", one of the articles left by Jo Heon(1544~1592) whose pen name was Jung-bong, is a travelogue which was written in around 1574~1575 when he was dispatched to Ming as a formal envoy(Giljungkwan). The diary-style manuscript was designated as one of the pieces of the National Treasure 1007. Due to the damage of its binding strings, abrasion, fold, stain, insect and damage on the surface, conservation and restoration was needed. In the process of separation, three more binding strings were found, confirming that the travelogue was rebound at least twice in the past. In addition, the page of 'Yeondoillgi', the original title, was bound inside, confirming that the current cover was revised in the past. As the result of the investigation of base fabric, paper mulberry was found to be the cover, inside paper, lining paper, paper strings. The three kinds of binding string including the current ones was defined to be silk.

The ancient paper document we chose as a case study for our research is "One Hundred Poets of the Tang Dynasty", which is housed in the Ryukoku University Library. The purpose of this research is to introduce a method to analyze the surface roughness and microstructure at a high resolution. In addition, we attempt to quantitatively measure the surface unevenness of the types and curve structure. We used a tridimensional digital microscopy as a non-contact and a non-destructive method to study ancient cultural paper. The information contained in the paper may be lost in the process of applying strong pressure to clean and lining or press. However, this microscopic measurement method can non-destructively analyze a large amount of data in old printed books. Moreover, it enables observing them directly with reflected light. Therefore, this method may be useful for collecting printed information remaining on the surface of the paper.

Neunghwaji(Embossed patterned paper) is a unique paper used for a traditional book cover in Korea. The research was carried out to investigate Neunghwaji's features. Physical property was studied through a test of tensile strength and folding endurance. Also, comparative analysis of virus resistance and waterproof ability was undertaken on Neunghwaji. 1. Folding endurance test showed that strength of non-embossed CB and HB decreased during deteriorating duration. Embossed CN and HN showed the strength increasing at early stage and decreasing from the 27th day of the deteriorating duration. Tensile strength was decreasing in both cases as deterioration progressed. 2. Growth of Arthrinium sp. fungus on embossed paper was 10% less than plain paper while Cladosporium sp. showed 20~30% less growth. Amur cork dyeing(H) showed 10~30% lower fungi growth than Gardenia seed dyeing(C). The result indicated that embossed paper has better virus resistance than Hanji, and Amur cork dyeing has better virus resistance than Gardenia seed dyeing. 3. Average contact angle of CN, CB, HN, and HB was $85{\sim}92^{\circ}$ and NON-N and NON-B was $59{\sim}63^{\circ}$. In detail, CN's contact angle was $1{\sim}7^{\circ}$ higher than CB's; HN was $1{\sim}6^{\circ}$ higher than HB. Therefore, it was found that embossed paper has higher contact angle than Hanji thus the former has better waterproof ability. The research suggested production technique of Neunghwaji and studied its features related to the technique. Neunghwaji was confirmed to have superior quality to Hanji though further study regarding above test result is needed to complement the research.
