Conservation Science is a rather innovative application of
instrumental analysis with steadily increasing importance. Although
the first attempts for preserving material from the cultural
heritage on a scientific basis are found in the 19th century
pioneer chemistry years, only the use of sophisticated
physicochemical techniques results in effective identification and
deterioration studies of monuments and objects, and in reliable
intervention procedures. This volume allows to gain solid knowledge
and improved skills on the ways separation schemes and diagnostic
methodologies are applied in the safeguarding and authentication of
tangible works of art; as well as on the modes of implementing
novel safeguarding practices built on well-established principles -
such as the use of laser in the decontamination of objects. All
techniques are covered at a state-of-the-art level; while selected
applications permit addressing major groups of materials and
artefacts. Conservation Science is nowadays taught at master's
level in all developed countries, and museum laboratories
increasingly adopt scientific approaches in their restoration
initiatives. The book is intended as a valuable tool for students
and professionals active in these frames. In addition, it provides
an indispensable manual for participants in the specialized
intensive courses, which are systematically offered by the authors
under the auspices of the relevant European network.
