#Nanomaterials to preserve ancient works of art Little would we know about history if it weren't for books and works of art.
But as time goes by conserving this evidence of the past is becoming more and more of a struggle.
The most ancient works of art are increasingly suffering the ravages of time while traditional restoration techniques pose serious problems in terms of physicochemical compatibility with substances contained in artefacts and toxicity.
The three-year project which ends this month has developed advanced nanomaterials for preventive conservation of works of art.
This involved nanomaterials that are physico-chemically compatible with the components of works of art
but almost exclusively to develop advanced diagnostic techniques for the characterisation of works of art and their degradation processes.
We could compare preservation of cultural heritage to medicine where the works of art play the role of the patients:
The number of degradation processes affecting a large variety of works of art requires the development of new methodologies and materials
which is key to the long-term stability of the treated works of art and their availability to future generations.
There are plenty of examples showing how traditional materials can be detrimental to works of art for instance wall paintings treated with acrylic
What are the most promising materials you developed The project has been successful in producing and effectively testing several new materials for the conservation of works of art four
The second is the dispersion of alkaline nanoparticles in either short chain alcohols or water for the ph control of movable works of art such as paper parchment and leather.
We also came up with nanostructured cleaning fluids such as oil-in-water microemulsions for the removal of dirt and unwanted coatings on works of art.
Nanoparticles for the ph control of movable works of art (e g. paper wood canvas) have been branded under the trademark Nanorestore Paper;
and materials for modern and contemporary works of art such as acrylic paintings plastic sculptures and composite works that include metal textiles polymers etc.
This is the reason why we are proposing a new project within the Horizon 2020 call named NANORESTART (Nanomaterials for the RESTORARTION of the works of modern ART to highlight the new start with respect to classic art conservation) that aims
to conserve modern/contemporary works of art. In order to address this challenge we have created a unique partnership that groups research institutions and materials science experts together with high-profile museums conservation centres and experienced professionals in the field of modern art preservation.
