2D Materials/Polyoxometalate Hybrids for Heritage Conservation

Projektbeschreibung

Schutz von ortsgebundenem kulturellem Erbe dank Hybridbeschichtungen

Unser kulturelles Erbe ist dem Wetter und anderen Extrembedingungen sowie der Alterung ausgesetzt und durch Biodeterioration sowie Biodegradation gefährdet. Deshalb wird das EU-finanzierte Projekt HeriCare die mögliche Verwendung von transparenten Hybridwerkstoffen aus Polyoxometallaten und 2D-Werkstoffen zur Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes untersuchen. Zum ersten Mal werden solche Hybridwerkstoffe damit im Bereich der Werkstoffkunde und der Erhaltung von Kulturerbe getestet. Das Projekt wird von einem multidisziplinären Netzwerk profitieren, das durch Forschungsbesuche bei der Restaurierungsabteilung der Bibliothek des Königlichen Botanischen Gartens von Madrid sowie in einem Lehrinstitut für Konservierung und Restaurierung in Huesca, Spanien, entstehen wird. Die Arbeit wird den Weg für neue Forschungsrichtungen auf dem Gebiet innovativer antimikrobieller Materialien ebnen.

Ziel

Protecting cultural heritage objects from biodeterioration and biodegradation is a major challenge faced by European society due to the implications in identity, economy and history. The aim of the HeriCare project is to create & expand a library of transparent hybrid materials composed of polyoxometalates & two-dimensional (2D) materials to be used in heritage conservation. This is the first time that such hybrids will be explored for this type of application and this project is expected to generate a broad impact on the fields of materials science and conservation. Moreover, selected hybrids will be incorporated to modern paper to provide ultra-resistant properties against biological contaminants for future heritage. The implementation of this multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral project is expected to boost the personal career of the candidate by completing his knowledge about chemistry synthesis and acquiring a whole new set of research skills related to microbiology, biochemistry and cultural heritage. Furthermore, a multidisciplinary network will be created via long research visits to the conservation department of the library of the Spanish Royal Botanic Gardens and a short visit to a Restoration School (Huesca, Spain), which are expected to provide a concise insight into conservation work and the state-of-the-art of cultural heritage preservation techniques and products. In return, the candidate will transfer his expertise on 2D materials to the hosting and the research visit groups, which is expected to open new research lines and future collaborations in the field of novel antimicrobial materials. Finally, the project management and additional activities such as courses, coaching and dissemination will provide key skills for financial management, communication, research development and mentoring, which will prepare the candidate for his career as a fully independent researcher and team leader.
