Evaluation of its Characteristics and Resistance. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.27, pp.189-242.  Epub 30-Ene-2024.

The following paper presents the results from the physical characterization and subsequent application of yarns made from Japanese paper, whose features and properties in the field of conservation-restoration have proved useful for the intervention of archaeological objects of organic origin. This RESEARCH ARTICLE describes the process of thread elaboration as well as the evaluation of its physiomechanical properties through the analysis of mechanical traction, where the thickness of the thread is directly proportional to the force required to generate the thread’s failure, meaning that the properties of the threads can be varied, depending on the specific conservation need.
