Investigating the effect of nanolime treatment on the drying kinetics of Clipsham limestoneSpringer Science and Business Media LLC -
Dáire E. Browne, R. Peverall, Grant A. D. Ritchie, Heather Viles
AbstractClimate change poses an ever-increasing risk to our stone built heritage. Among conservation actions, the use of consolidant products is considered a possible response to this challenge, and the adoption of nanolimes has been widely studied showing promising results. However, while the effectiveness and method of application has been assessed, few studies h...... hiện toàn bộ

The study of the microclimate is pivotal for the protection and conservation of cultural heritage. This paper describes specific procedures aimed at the deployment of microclimate sensors in spaces housing collections (e.g., museums) under different scenarios. The decision making involves a multidisciplinary discussion among museum manager, conservator and conservation scientist and implies five s...... hiện toàn bộ
Determining the construction sequence of the Preah Vihear monument in Cambodia from its sandstone block characteristicsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-15 - 2017
Etsuo Uchida, Akinori Mizoguchi, Hiroya Sato, Ichita Shimoda, Ryota Watanabe
The Preah Vihear monument in Cambodia, located close to the border with Thailand, was one of the Khmer temples registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a Cultural Property in 2008. It consists of masonry buildings constructed of siliceous sandstone blocks. In this study, the construction sequence of its buildings was inferred from the chemical composition, magnetic susceptibility, and size ...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractDuring the Second World War the German occupants of the Netherlands made ample use of the Scheveningen prison near The Hague, popularly nicknamed the Oranjehotel. One former death cell in this infamous prison (Doodencel 601) has been preserved in its original condition, showing wartime inscriptions on th...... hiện toàn bộ
Shrinkage and mechanical properties of drying oil paintsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 Số 1

AbstractUnderstanding how the evolving molecular composition of an oil paint layer on its transition to an aged solid film affects its dimensional change and mechanical properties is fundamental to the assessment of material durability and more broadly risk of degradation of oil paintings. Tensile properties—modulus of elasticity and strain at break—as well as cumu...... hiện toàn bộ
Release of lead from Renaissance lead-glazed ceramics from southern Denmark and northern Germany: implications from acetic acid etching experimentsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-18 - 2022

Lead-glazed potsherds from archaeological excavations at six Renaissance (1536–1660 CE) sites in southern Denmark and northern Germany have been subjected to etching experiments using 4 wt% acetic acid. The extracts of 45 sherds were analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. At one site, the ducal hunting castle of Grøngaard, Pb levels in acid extracts from glazed dishes were so hi...... hiện toàn bộ
Jan Steen’s ground layers analysed with Principal Component AnalysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-17 - 2019
Marya Albrecht, Onno de Noord, Sabrina Meloni, Annelies van Loon, Ralph Haswell
In-depth technical and art historical research into Jan Steen’s (ca. 1626–1679) oeuvre has been a focus at the Mauritshuis since 2012, as part of the Partners in Science collaboration with Shell. The aim of this project is to shed light on the chronology of Steen’s oeuvre based on the materials he used, since only 10% of his circa 450 works are dated. Steen worked in different cities within the Ne...... hiện toàn bộ
Plastics in robots: a degradation study of a humanoid skin mask made of soft urethane elastomerSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-17 - 2022

Understanding the degradation of plastic materials is a big challenge for curators, conservators and conservation scientists in museums worldwide aiming to preserve their collections due to the variety of formulations of synthetic polymers and pigments. The conservation of polyurethane (PUR) based objects is challenging because they can suffer from extensive degradation. Particularly PUR elastomer...... hiện toàn bộ
