Adobe Conservation: Evaluation of Silicone and Acrylic Consolidants
… adobe samples were fabricated and different consolidants were applied to the samples. To determine the most effective consolidant, the tests were performed on the treated adobe. The soil for this research was supplied from Godfrey, a site near Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The soil was mixed …

The Reeves Collection: An Investigation into Chinese Botanical Drawings, Their Identification and Conservation
… and a hitherto unreported Chinese method tested. Consolidants were compared by reference to published and unpublished material. Fresh Reeves correspondence emerged during this research. It was discovered that many pictures were painted in Macao between 1817 and 1831 by four named Chinese painters. …

Design and synthesis of new materials for the protection, restoration, and conservation of carbonate stone artifacts of interest in the field of Cultural Heritage.
… protective phases. Among the most studied consolidants, calcium oxalates, oxamates, and phosphates exhibit promising properties. Calcium oxalate treatments offer high selectivity in crystalline phase formation but suffer from limited penetration (<1–2 mm), while ammonium oxamates display …

Micro- and Nanostructured Polymeric Materials for art protection and Restoration
… of melt-compounded Paraloid/CMC composites as consolidants for damaged wood was investigated. CMC introduction did not change the good viscosity of the neat matrix and especially its good water repellency. Wood samples treated with microfilled Paraloid exhibited an increment of the stiffness …

Halloysite for smart nano-structured materials in sustainable applications
… Wax/HNTs Pickering emulsions were employed as consolidants for waterlogged archaeological woods, with an enhancement of the treatment efficiency compared to the use of pure wax, as showed by the analysis of the mechanical performances of the wooden samples. Overall, this thesis provides a …
