Characterization of polyvinyl resins used as binding media in paintings by pyrolysis–silylation–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
Tóm tắt
Polyvinyl resins, in particular poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions (PVA), are widely used in contemporary paintings as binding media, because of the optimum mechanical and optical properties these polymers confer on the paint layers. A study has been carried out to chemically characterize samples of PVA resins prepared as coating films from commercial products currently available from fine arts suppliers. For this purpose, a new method has been based on “on-line” silylation–pyrolysis using hexamethyldisilazane as derivatisation reagent in pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py–GC–MS). This proposed procedure leads to unambiguous identification of this type of binder and improves conventional direct Py–GC–MS. PVA media used in three contemporary paintings from a private collection and from the Museum of Fine Arts of Málaga (Spain) have been successfully identified with this procedure. As a second step of this work, a study devoted to the characterization of changes in the chemical composition of the PVA commercial products studied has been carried out. Effects induced in the specimens by three different types of artificial accelerated ageing process—thermal, UV light, and in an SO2-polluted chamber—were compared.
