Here, the photo-oxidative degradation of several terpenoid varnishes usually encountered in
conservation of cultural heritage has been investigated. Samples were prepared by …

This paper aims to evaluate the Er: YAG laser efficacy to safely thin a varnish on a modern
19th century oil painting. Tests were carried out under single and multiple laser scans …

Comprehensive analysis of high‐resolution mass spectra of aged natural dammar resin
obtained with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT‐ICR‐MS) …

In the present work, we focus on the assessment of the chemical and physical side effects
induced by UV laser ablation of varnish samples (ie mastic, oil-mastic, dammar, and …

Varnishes are employed in painted artworks for protection from atmospheric pollution and
oxidation and for improving the esthetic appearance by providing an even and brilliant …

This paper investigates the effects of inorganic (NO2 and O3) and volatile organic acid
(acetic acid) pollutants on the degradation of dammar varnish in museum environments …

This research aims to comprehensively analyse the interaction between a 2940 nm
wavelength Er: YAG laser and several commercial varnishes commonly used in the mid …

Previous works of the authors have presented the changes in the optical, mechanical, and
chemical properties of the oiled areas of the supports that occur upon ageing due to oil …

A new analytical approach, based on micro-transflection measurements from a diamond-
coated metal sampling stick, is presented for the analysis of painting varnishes. Minimally …

This paper explores the cleaning efficacy of polyethylene-supported 15-min photo-
crosslinked poly (acrylamide-co-benzophenone) surface-attached gels (SAGs) on gypsum …
