Project description
Innovative protection of stone cultural heritage
Many of the world's most famous heritage sites are vulnerable to increasing air pollution and higher temperatures. More effective ways are needed to protect European stone cultural heritage from the worsening effects of climate change and chemical pollution. The EU-funded multi-disciplinary BIONA4ART project proposes to develop new materials (a new generation of bioinspired nacre-like composites with self-healing and antimicrobial properties) and new methods to attest stone conservation treatments. Such research requires skills in material science, biomaterials, physics, chemistry, petrophysics and Cultural Heritage (CH) conservation.
