Conservators of art work describe how the profession has integrated nanoscience during recent decades. A major issue is cleaning, and they describe the techniques and cite applications and case
studies of cleaning with solvents and solutions, surfactants and micellar solutions, emulsions and microemulsions, and gels and polymeric dispersions. Other topics include the degradation of
works of art materials, the synthesis and properties of inorganic nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials for consolidating wall paintings and stones, and inorganic nanomaterials for
de-acidifying paper and waterlogged wood. Distributed in the US by Ingram Publisher Services. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
