Research
activity
The role of Perugia Research Unit is to develop integrated
spectroscopic methods for:
1) in situ study of paintings degradation processes;
2) the control of cleaning, consolidation and protection systems.
1) study (in situ) of paintings alteration processes in
particular:
- Study of degradation phenomena induced by the interaction of
copper-based pigments with lipid binders; (infrared non-invasive
techniques will be employed to detect possible forms of
chelation and / or saponification. IR, Raman and XRD techniques
will be used to study the changes in the crystal structure of
the pigments).
- Study of photophysical and photochemical properties of eosin-Y
2) develop of integrated analytical methods to map the
distribution of organic materials used in restored stone. |
