The weathering of building and sculptural stone due to increasing air pollution and salt
damage results in the loss of invaluable cultural heritage artworks. This has prompted the …

Cultural heritage objects and structures are subjected to a range of weathering processes
that result in their decay and destruction. To slow weathering rates and/or mitigate their …

Alkoxysilane-based products have been used in conservation interventions to consolidate
stone-built heritage, although with limited success in carbonate stones. This chapter …

Alcohol dispersions of Ca (OH) 2 nanoparticles, the so-called nanolimes, are emerging as
an effective conservation material for the consolidation of stone, mortars, and plasters …

The relatively recent development of nanolimes (ie, alcoholic dispersions of Ca (OH) 2
nanoparticles) has paved the way for new approaches to the conservation of important art …

Nanolimes are alcohol dispersions of Ca (OH) 2 nanoparticles used in the conservation of
cultural heritage. Although it was believed that Ca (OH) 2 particles were inert when …

Nanolimes are alcohol dispersions of colloidal Ca (OH) 2 nanoparticles used as novel
nanomaterials for the conservation of cultural heritage. Upon exposure to atmospheric CO2 …

A novel alkoxysilane-based product was applied on limestone samples from a Roman
archaeological site. The study consisted of an initial phase to evaluate site environmental …

Cultural relics such as wall paintings and stone relics face a decrease in mechanical
strength and contamination from microbial growth. Nanolime (NL), as an exceptional …

A challenging objective in monumental stone restoration is to synthesize crack-free silica
materials for application as consolidants. Hydrophobicity is also a valuable property for such …
