This book presents novel applications of nanotechnology for the
preservation of artistic and historical artifacts. It explains the
scientific principles behind numerous nanomaterials and discusses
their applications to different types of common movable and fixed
artistic substrates. It starts with an overview of the nano-tools
developed over the last three decades, such as dispersions of
nanoparticles, micellar solutions, microemulsions and gels.
Compared to traditional methods, these new tools have the benefit
of considerably less impact on both the operators and the
environment. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific type of
cultural heritage material (wall and easel paintings, stone, paper,
canvas and wood) starting with the main degradation paths and
discussing protocols for the application of innovative
nanomaterials-based tools for cleaning, consolidation, or
deacidification, which represent the majority of the case studies
encountered in restoration facilities, workshops and ateliers. The
book provides step-by-step descriptions that are meant to support
conservators in the application of these novel materials and
methods. The aim of the book is to equip end-users and conservators
with essential information and knowledge on the availability and
applicability of different nano-materials and dispersed systems.
While the book's focus is on the practical aspects, interested
readers will also find references to the relevant advanced colloid
and material science literature. Main audience: Expert
conservators, restorers and technical staff at conservation
institutes and museums, students at conservation and restoration
schools, and scientists who are new to the field of conservation of
artistic and historical artifacts.
