Abstract
Research problems stemming from investigating or conserving cultural heritage objects can provide a test bed for advancing our collective understanding of complex and dynamic materials, as well as inspiring discovery of new materials families. The key is in recognizing changes that can happen to a material over time scales of years to millennia, due to the environment in which it exists; these kinds of investigations are very under-represented in the field of solid state chemistry. We illustrate this opportunity using examples from our own and others’ work on the long-term alterations of carbonates and complex oxides. In doing so, we emphasize the mutual benefit between synthetic and materials characterization strategies of solid state chemistry and research questions in the field of heritage materials.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
