Abstract

Neutron radiography was utilized to quantify water absorption and desorption in parchment at the High Flux Isotope Reactor CG-1D imaging facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Sequential 60s radiographs of sections of a 15^th century parchment were taken as the parchment underwent wetting and drying cycles. This provided time-resolved visualization and quantification of water absorption and transport in parchment.
