An Essential Role of Gelatin in the Formation Process of Curling in Long Historical Photos

Curling disease in long historical photos significantly affects the presentation of cultural heritage information. However, people lack attention to the formation process and microstructural changes of photo curling. In this article, a long historical photo (1912–1949 AD) collected by the Second His...
