How Science Can Contribute to the Remedial Conservation of Cultural Heritage

Piero Baglioni et al. Chemistry. .

Abstract

Colloid science is contributing solutions to counteract the degradation of artifacts, favoring their transfer to future generations. Advanced materials such as nanoparticles, coatings, gels and microemulsions have been assessed in conservation, spanning from archeological sites to modern and contemporary art. We give an overview of the fundamental milestones and latest innovations in conservation science, targeting solutions and tools for remedial conservation based on green nanomaterials and hybrid systems. Future perspectives and outstanding challenges in this exciting field are then outlined.

Keywords: advanced materials; art preservation; colloids; conservation science; nanomaterials.
