The book “Protective Material Coatings For Preserving Cultural Heritage Monuments and Artwork“ aims to familiarize more graduate and post-graduate students and researchers with different orientations in conservation and restoration science and adopt appropriate treatment methods based on the properties of materials. Due to the innovation in conservation and restoration science in recent years.
In many cases, in addition to proper maintenance, serious interventions are required to use appropriate coatings to maintain these works with long-term efficiency. Various processes are used to produce nanocomposite coatings, one of which is the wet chemical process by the sol-gel way.
The book “Protective Material Coatings For Preserving Cultural Heritage Monuments and Artwork“ is prepared in 5 chapters. In the first chapter, various analysis techniques describe the materials used in historical monuments or the coatings used to preserve them. The second chapter introduces the properties of metals, alloys, and their common corrosion and proposes protection strategies for metal monuments. Also, various protective coatings, emphasizing nanocomposite coatings to prevent decay, especially electrochemical corrosion, are examined.
Chapter 3 is devoted to studying natural leather and parchments and their conservation from damage by environmental factors such as UV, temperature, and humidity. There are various coatings for surface treatment of leather and parchment are discussed in this chapter.
The fourth chapter deals with stone works, which contain many historical sources. In recent years, nanocomposite coatings have been considered for their protection and create additional functions such as self-cleaning properties and resistance of microorganisms.
Chapter 5 discusses more effective materials and innovative methods to protect historical monuments and cultural heritage, removal, cleaning of improper repairs of the past, and new techniques and procedures for protection and restoration.
