Research
activity
The Research Unity at the University of Bari has the role to
develop innovative methods and materials for the conservation
and restoration of artefacts, and to develop new analytical
strategies based on micro-destructive analytical techniques.
1) synthesis of nanostructured innovative materials for the
restoration of stone substrates, such as innovative materials
based on nanoparticles with biocide action (nanocolloids of Cu,
Ag and ZnO with biocide activity), smart and multifunctional
materials (CNTs) for improving cementitious matrices.
2) study of enzyme kinetics for the removal of spray acrylic
paints through the use of lipase enzymes and of specific enzymes
for synthetic dyes.
3) study of the interactions between ionic and molecular species
in determining the stability of pictorial systems through the
use of techniques such as MALDI-ToF, ESI-Q-ToF and ESI-IT
coupled with HPLC.
4) study of natural dyes in paintings by chromatographic
techniques / mass spectrometry. |
