Thrilled to share our latest research on the chemical heterogeneity of organic phases in artists' paints, now published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Exploring heritage materials at the nanoscale reveals an astonishing level of complexity! In this study, we investigate the spatial chemical complexity and reaction pathways of organic species in oil, tempera, and mixed-media tempera grassa paints. By analyzing these paints at the nanoscale, we establish connections between their structural organization, chemistry, and formulation.
This marks our first publication within the ARIAH project, with more exciting results to come!
