Methods for Art Preservation and Restauration. Identification of Parameters for Potential Monitoring the Temporal Evolution of Putties

Abstract

Art preservation, conservation and restauration is a very important niche field that may beneficiate of recent advances in sensor technology. Identification of parameters for potential monitoring the temporal evolution of artworks (wood, stone, textiles, paints, putties etc.) is a first step in designing novel specialized and personalized sensing and detection devices. This work regards a particular comparative study of a new putty material for restauration and old unknown putty from the beginning of XIXth century for preliminary identification of parameters for potential monitoring the temporal evolution of putties used in artworks restauration process.
