Baglioni P Carretti E Chelazzi D Nanomaterials in Art Conservation

Tackling the degradation of cultural heritage requires a global try. We call on all textile scientists to develop new nanomaterials and methods for the preservation of artwork.

The preservation and transfer of cultural identities and heritage to future generations is everyone's responsibility. A review on the social and economic value of cultural heritage published in 2014 past the European Skilful Network on Culture concluded that cultural heritage is a strategic resources for a sustainable Europe: if properly managed, it tin heighten social inclusion and cohesion, encourage intercultural dialogue, improve the quality of the immediate living environment, and stimulate tourism¹. The all-time fashion to realize these benefits is to increase access to cultural heritage through digital means and public date¹. However, access is possible merely if the original artefacts are properly conserved, stored and displayed. Therefore, developing new conservation techniques that are readily bachelor, inexpensive and easy to apply is vital to maintaining access.
