We report on the systematic characterization of photoluminescence (PL) lifetimes in NV${}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and NV${}^{0}$ centers 2-MeV H${}^{+}$-implanted type Ib diamond samples by means a time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) microscopy technique. A dipole-dipole resonant energy transfer model was applied to interpret experimental results, allowing quantitative correlation concentration both native (single substitutional nitrogen atoms) ion-induced (isolated vacancies)...
Poly(vinylacohol) (PVA) is a versatile polymer capable of forming hydrogels useful in wide range applications. Hydrogels based on cross-linking PVA with borax, and able to incorporate organic solvents, have been used the field cultural heritage as tool for cleaning surfaces. Poly(ethylenoxide) (PEO) has introduced formulations PVA-borax, aim increasing gel compatibility solvents improving mechanical properties materials. The were investigated rheological characterization, solvent loss...
The control of air quality in museum showcases is a growing issue for the conservation displayed artefacts. Inside an airtight showcase, volatile substances may rapidly concentrate and favor or directly cause degradation other unwanted phenomena on objects. role materials used construction display cases as source pollutants compounds dangerous cultural heritage integrity here reviewed with illustration consequences critical damages. Ways assessing suitability either use are also discussed...
Copper resinate is a green pigment widely used by the 16th century painters, as many surveys on Italian and European paintings proved. The transparent glaze, its color due to copper salts of resin acids. oldest recipes suggest preparation mixing verdigris with terpenic resins Venice turpentine (conifer resins) hot ashes. detection in up this time an analytical challenge. We examined Raman features (powder mock paint film linseed oil) compared them verdigris. Six laser sources (488, 514, 532,...
Outdoor bronze artworks are an entrenched part of our urban landscape. They usually covered by a patina resulting from their exposition to the environment. This plays important aesthetic role and may provide some passivation on surface, nonetheless it does not prevent degradation processes promoted external factors such as pollution, light humidity. One strategies slow down these unwanted is application protective coatings. The products currently available have limitations due loss...
Mid-infrared Fourier transform fiber-optic reflection spectroscopy (mid-IR FORS) is a noninvasive and flexible spectroscopic technique. It ideal in the art conservation field because of its portability for on-site situ analysis objects, analyses that require delicate handling, or objects cannot be sampled. This paper studies applicability mid-IR FORS characterization commercial artists' alkyd paints cast on different supports. As predicted, quality spectra intensity characteristic peaks...
The painting materials used by Lucio Fontana were investigated through the analysis of 28 Spatial Concept works created between early 1950s and artist's death in 1968. pictorial media analyzed means numerous techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, pyrolysis-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence. This study has provided a more complete understanding technique, as it was found that had already begun experimenting with new...
Metal soaps formation is a well-known issue in oil paintings. Along the lifetime of painting, carboxylic acids coming from drying (free fatty acids, hydrolysis triglycerides and oxidation processes) can react with cations some pigments (in particular, smalt, lead white zinc white) forming related salts. As observed by many authors, these carboxylates, tendency to migrate aggregate, not only modifies behavior aspect paint film but also complicates cleaning approach. In previous works we have...
Abstract This paper aimed at studying thermal contribution to the UV ageing process, trying understand which decisive changes reduce protective effectiveness of polymer coatings. In this effects on shielding efficacy different polymers, applied low porosity stones have been studied, comparing a 1000 h simulated solar radiation with about 50 °C, is temperature usually reached in chambers. The aim study has evaluation possible contribution: testing methods suggested by UNI‐Normal Italian...
The first step in preservative measures for artworks airtight showcases is the exclusion of outgassing from construction materials or, at least, limitation emissions to a minimum acceptable level if volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated may be qualified as harmless. Once it ascertained that objects are responsible VOC emissions, forward becomes necessary, implying showcase ventilation with air flowing through active sorbent materials. Solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) followed by GC...
