During the past decade, Raman spectroscopy has been increasingly applied for the analysis
of objects of art and antiquities. Since the publication of the database of Raman spectra of …

Metal formates sometimes occur as degradation products on heritage objects due to the use
of wood products or other sources of formic acid and formaldehyde. They are often related to …

Improvements in the instrumentation for dispersive and interferometric Fourier transform (FT)
Raman microscopy have overcome many of the earlier limitations of these techniques, thus …

Raman spectroscopy has been applied to the examination of wall painting fragments from
the archaeological site of Ek'Balam (Yucatán, Mexico). Thirty-three samples have been …

Analysis of paint samples from a 16th C. wall painting in the church of Agios Sozomenos in

Corrosion reliability of hearing aid (HA) devices is a critical issue due to their exposure to
harsh climatic conditions like high humidity and temperature, along with the combination of …

The reproduction of an old recipe to obtain the pigment known as verdigris leads to a
complex mixture of hydrated copper (II) acetates containing neutral verdigris and two …

This review aims to look at the development of Raman spectroscopy as applied to the field of
cement science. Starting with a historical overview, it then considers the spectra of cements …

Many heritage objects consist of glass in contact with metals. By ion exchange with
absorbed water, alkaline aqueous films are formed on the glass surface. They contain …

Preserving and analytically examining daguerreotypes is particularly challenging because
of their multi-material and multi-component structure. Various sensors have been exploited …
