The conservation and protection of buildings that constitute our
cultural heritage are complex tasks calling for a comprehensive
knowledge of the historical background of the buildings, as well as
the construction technologies and materials used. Nanomaterials in
Architecture and Art Conservation gives a comprehensive overview of
the state of the art of using nanomaterials in conservation
sciences, mainly for stone, mortar and plaster strengthening, but
also for the consolidation of wall paintings. The book compiles and
details deterioration mechanisms of stone and historical mortars,
as well as methods of characterising and testing consolidation
effects. The non- or semi-destructive characterisation methods that
will be presented allow additional measurements to characterise
objects before and after any interventions. Besides, general
aspects of inorganic consolidants are targeted. The focus, in
particular, is the application of nanolime as a new consolidation
agent. Basic characteristics and application advices as well as
beneficial combinations with other consolidation agents, such as
silicic acid esters, are emphasised. What makes this book so
special is the large number of practical applications described
from the viewpoint of different restorers, offering a direct inside
view of the procedure for the conservation of historical monuments.
Restorers dealing with stone, mortar and plaster conservation;
artists; advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of
conservation science, art and nanotechnology; offices for the
protection of monuments and heritage agencies; and researchers in
materials science, conservation, nanotechnology and chemistry,
especially those with an interest in applied sciences, will find
this book a great reference.
