Durium discs, composed of synthetic resorcinol-formaldehyde resin on a cardboard substrate, often exhibit bending deformations due to aging and environmental factors, rendering them unreadable on standard turntables. Attempts to mitigate these deformations by gluing a secondary cardboard layer to their backs resulted in further deformations over time. Instantaneous discs, such as Decelith (polyvinyl chloride) and lacquer (metal base coated with cellulose esters), also face preservation challenges like plasticizer migration, cracks, and deformation. Two non-invasive techniques were employed to address these issues. THz time-domain spectroscopy measured layer thickness, and Structure from Motion-Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS) photogrammetry analyzed Durium disc deformations, even on featureless, reflective surfaces. Photogrammetry revealed that Durium discs exhibited bending deformations, with deviations from planarity of up to 2 cm, which worsened after the removal of the glued secondary cardboard. Applying a central weight effectively reduced deformation to within 2 mm. THz imaging associated Durium disc deformation with thinner resin layers (0.20–0.25 mm). The Decelith disc were thinner at the edges and thicker near the center (1–1.3 mm), while lacquer disc showed inhomogeneous dielectric layers (0.14–0.28 mm), thicker at the edges most likely due to centrifugal deposition of liquid resin. This study provides valuable insights into material composition, degradation, and historical production techniques, informing conservation strategies critical to preserving phonograph discs and ensuring access to their sound heritage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"73 ","pages":"Pages 434-442"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143899322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These materials are highly susceptible to various environmental conditions within museum environment, including hydrolytic, thermal, and photo-oxidative processes, affecting its structural stability and promotes discoloration and/or yellowing. In response to these challenges, this research proposes the development of nanocoatings based on titanium dioxide surface functionalization with different organosilanes to protect artworks from degradation processes caused by the museum environmental conditions. For this, two surface modifiers were employed: (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, that enhances chemical affinity with the foam; and (n-octyl)triethoxysilane, that contributes to increase the hydrophobicity of the samples. The functionalization reactions involved varying ratio of organosilanes, and the spectroscopic and thermal analyzes confirmed the successful modifications. Subsequently, the modified titanium dioxides particles were added to a surface of rigid PUR foam based on polyether and polyester using an ethanol dispersion. The nanocoated samples then were submitted to an artificial aging process in a climatic chamber under controlled temperature, humidity, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Comparative evaluations were conducted before and after treatment, employing visual, morphological, spectroscopic, and dynamical mechanical analyzes. The results demonstrated that the different formulations exhibited good surface adhesion to the foam and effectively limited visual degradation while preserving the foam’s properties. These findings serve as a promising starting point for the development of innovative approaches to preserve PUR artistic works.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"73 ","pages":"Pages 400-408"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143891125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the second step, the predictions provided by supervised classification models make it possible to integrate less reliable pottery assemblages that are essential to the overall construction of the chronological model of the Angkor Thom city.

The intermittent presence of people in these environments can exacerbate the problem, as their sensible and latent heat contributions amplify microclimate fluctuations. However, the actual impact of people on the indoor microclimate and artwork degradation is challenging to estimate due to the difficulty of collecting data during periods of continuous absence. In this paper, we monitored indoor environmental parameters inside the Santos Juanes Church, a temple of historical value in Valencia, Spain, from 2019 to 2020. This allowed us to assess the actual impact of visitors on the indoor microclimate through a comparative analysis of data from a \"typical\" period of use and data from the COVID-19 lockdown, when the church was closed. The results indicate that the effects of indoor activities on the microclimate are limited, not causing specific damage related to daily fluctuations. However, the estimation of damage risk indicators shows that indoor conditions during the summer, influenced by high outdoor temperatures and solar radiation, are not adequate for proper preservation. This issue, potentially common to many other churches in hot climates, can be addressed with increased night ventilation. This simple solution avoids the use of complex mechanical systems, which increase carbon emissions and are not recommended in the context of historical buildings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"73 ","pages":"Pages 549-560"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143937354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
