Research
activity
The Research Unity at the University of Torino contributes to
the aims of the present project with activities inserted in the
line concerning development of innovative materials and
methodologies for conservation and restoration of artistic
artefacts. The proposed study will be focused in specific way on
development of hydrogels and high viscosity polymeric dispersion
useful for restoration and cleaning procedures and for
diagnostic purposes. The main goal of the present RU is to
prepare polymeric gels with tunable mechanical properties,
suitable for cultural heritage application, starting from
economically and environmentally friendly compounds. Study will
be addressed to implementation of characteristic and
applicability of systems already described and to setting up new
materials with best performance and easier to be monitored.
Research will be planned in three steps:
1) Preparation of new gelling systems and laboratory tests;
2) Application on laboratory specimens and evaluation of
efficiency, stability and removability;
3) Experimentation on real cases. |
