New conservation methods for outdoor bronze sculptures

Objectif



The proposers background in research is based on a 20 years experience in the field of application of tracer methods using radioactive inert gases for the characterization of ceramics and glasses from gels.
The so-called radiometric emanation method will be adapted for its use to examine organic-inorganic polymers (ORMOCERs), proposed by the coordinator (ISC, Germany) as protective coatings on bronzes.
The objectives are: - to obtain information for the optimization of the chemical composition of starting materials, with respect to the required properties of a conservation material - to monitor the permeability of the coating and changes at the nanoscale level taking place during aging and possible deterioration of the protective layers by their interaction with aggressive gases and liquids from the environment.
The radiometric emanation method applied for the characterization of protective coatings on bronzes can not be provided by any other partner in the project.
The results will bring additional information to the analytical programme carried out by the partners and thus will create a broader basis of testing and analysis to proceed in the development of a new protective coating for outdoor bronze sculptures.
