Estudo de tratamentos anti-grafitti

Acabou de ser colocada online, com acesso livre, a seguinte tese de doutoramento:

Paula María Carmona Quiroga, Estudio del Comportamiento de dos Tratamientos Antigraffiti Como Protectores de Materiales de Construcción: Interacción Antigraffiti-substrato, Propiedades y Durabilidad, Madrid, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2010.

Está disponível aqui.

Resumo:

A los tradicionales agentes de deterioro de los materiales de construcción, agua, contaminantes atmosféricos, agentes biológicos, etc., hay que unir las pintadas y la suciedad con las que contribuye el hombre de forma directa. En las ciudades, los graffiti están sobre casi cualquier superficie, pero es en los edificios, especialmente en los históricos donde provocan un mayor impacto y deterioro. Para combatir este problema, han sido desarrollados los productos antigraffiti, que protegen las superficies de los materiales de construcción, impidiendo que la pintura penetre en sus sistemas porosos, o se adhiera a las superficies, facilitando de esta forma su posterior limpieza (con agua a presión, productos químicos, etc.). La memoria contenida en este volumen evalúa el comportamiento de dos de estos productos antigraffiti, un nuevo compuesto sintetizado en el Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (CSIC), Ormosil de Zr, y un producto comercial de naturaleza fluorada (Protectosil Antigraffiti® de Degussa), sobre la superficie de cinco materiales de construcción; mortero de cemento, mortero de cal, caliza, granito y ladrillo, en términos de compatibilidad (modificación de las propiedades petrofísicas), interacción (profundidad de penetración, formación de enlace químico y modificación de centros activos), eficacia (repelencia a las pintadas y al agua) y durabilidad (resistencia frente a ciclos hielodeshielo, radiación UV o atmósfera contaminada), dentro del proyecto “Tratamientos superficiales en la conservación de los materiales de construcción: bases científicas y diseño de nuevos productos polifuncionales” (MAT 2003-08343). Los resultados de cromatografía de gases inversa señalan que de los dos antigraffiti es el Protectosil (más concentrado) el que actúa más eficientemente en la reducción de la energía superficial del mortero de cal, la caliza y el granito. Este hecho explicaría los mejores resultados en la limpieza de los graffiti alcanzados en los materiales impregnados con este producto, claramente influenciados por la porosidad, cohesión y fundamentalmente rugosidad de los substratos.

The damage caused by the traditional agents of construction material decay, namely water, air pollutants, biological agents and so on, is accentuated by direct human action in the form of graffiti and soiling. While graffiti can be found on nearly any surface in cities, their effects – visual impact and deterioration – are especially pernicious in buildings, historic buildings in particular. Anti-graffiti coatings have been developed to combat this problem by protecting the surface of construction materials to prevent paint from penetrating their pore systems or from adhering to the surface, thereby facilitating subsequent cleaning operations (with pressurized water, chemical products and so on). The present report evaluates the behaviour of two such anti-graffiti coatings, a new compound synthesized at the Ceramics and Glass Institute (a Spanish National Research Council, CSIC, body), Zr Ormosil, and a commercial fluorinated product (Protectosil Antigraffiti®, manufactured by Degussa). They were tested on five construction material surfaces: cement mortar, lime mortar, limestone, granite and brick. The parameters studied were compatibility (modification of petrophysical properties), interaction (penetration depth, chemical bonding and modification of active centers, effectiveness (paint and water repellence) and durability (resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, UV radiation and polluted air) under the project “Surface treatments for the conservation of construction materials: scientific fundamentals and design of new multipurpose products” (MAT 2003-08343). The inverse gas chromatography findings showed that of the two coatings, Protectosil (more highly concentrated) reduced the surface energy in lime mortar, limestone and granite more effectively. This would explain the more thorough cleaning of graffiti attained in the materials impregnated with this product, a result that was clearly related to the porosity, cohesion and especially the roughness of the substrates.

Resumo:

A remoção de vernizes é um dos procedimentos mais frequentes efectuados em conservação e restauro de pintura. Neste trabalho, pretendeu-se testar a eficácia de líquidos iónicos (LIs) para remoção de vernizes, através da avaliação da acção de diversos LIs sobre diferentes vernizes. Foram utilizadas três tábuas, preparadas com diferentes pigmentos, aglutinantes e vernizes (dâmar,vernizes à base de policiclohexanonas, verniz à base de poli(acetato de vinilo) e verniz acrílico), de modo a simular diferentes situações encontradas em pinturas. A eficiência dos LIs na remoção dos vernizes foi avaliada com base na observação ao microscópio óptico, análises de FTIR-ATR, SEM e colorimetria. Foi possível identificar LIs para a remoção de um verniz específico e outros capazes de remover vários tipos de verniz. Concluiu-se que os LIs são promissores para a remoção de vernizes de pinturas.

Está aqui.

Resumo:

La recherche pétroarchéologique sur les mortiers de chaux gallo-romains s'appuie sur une méthodologie analytique simple, fondée sur les observations en microscopie optique en transmission, apportant le maximum d'informations sur le matériau et les différentes étapes de sa chaîne opératoire. Ce travail nous a permis de tracer les traits généraux du métier (les pratiques communes des structores et tectores antiques), d'établir les relations entre les compositions des mortiers et leurs fonctions architecturales « primaires » et « secondaires », puis de percevoir quels sont les marqueurs et les motivations des adaptations de recettes. L'importance de l'environnement géologique est démontrée, puisqu'il induit des choix économiques et techniques, obligeant parfois au remplacement de matières premières. Il pose aussi les limites géographiques de « l'intérêt » de la propagation des « innovations », souvent liées à des problèmes locaux d'approvisionnement en matières premières. Les notions de propriétés « voulues », « manquées » et « involontaires » permettent toutefois de comprendre ce qui, dans le système complexe du métier du mortier de chaux, sera générateur de durabilité ou au contraire de variabilité des recettes, en réponse à la qualité apparente et immédiate du matériau. Actuellement, seule une étude des mortiers selon leur emploi et pour une « région » restreinte permet de percevoir des évolutions chronologiques à valeur de datation. L'étude des mortiers de construction des édifices de la ville d'Arles apparaît en ce sens exemplaire : des mortiers issus d'un même patrimoine local montrent des utilisations parfaitement circonscrites dans le temps, nous permettant d'avancer des hypothèses de datation pour des maçonneries mal datées ou à datation encore sujette à controverse.

Sobre a técnica e a estética do retábulo-mor da Sé Velha de Coimbra e da policromia da época barroca

Foi hoje colocada online a seguinte tese de doutoramento:

Agnès Anne Françoise Le Gac Arinto, Le Retable Majeur de la Sé Velha de Coimbra et la Polychromie dans la Diocèse de Coimbra à l'èpoque Barroque. Aspects Techniques et Estétiques, 2 volumes, Lisboa, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2009.

Resumo:

Depuis sa création en 1499-1502, le retable majeur de la Sé Velha de Coimbra, consacré à la Vierge Marie, commandité par l’évêque D. Jorge de Almeida et sculpté par Olivier de Gand,exhibe toujours le chromatisme propre au XVIe siècle, faisant un usage abondant d’or et de bleu. La «dichromie» de Jean d’Ypres, caractéristique du Gothique flamboyant, a systématiquement été reprise sur l’oeuvre par la suite mais à des fins différentes : en 1582-1583, lors d’un nettoyage,pour réaffirmer le style du retable et en rafraîchir les couleurs ; en 1685, lors de sa repolychromie par Manoel da Costa Pereira à la demande de l’évêque D. Joao de Mello – à l’encontre des retables entièrement dorés de l’époque baroque –, pour réactiver les messages politiques et spirituels que ce mobilier véhiculait avant la Réforme protestante ; en 1900, pendant sa restauration, pour perpétuer son expression colorée alors jugée d’origine, toujours en harmonie avec son expression formelle et iconographique quasiment inaltérée. La conservation curative de 1976 a préservé l’ensemble. L’étude des couches stratigraphiques par différentes méthodes d’examen et d’analyse a mis en évidence les matériaux et techniques appliqués au cours de ces interventions successives. En croisant les données de laboratoire avec les archives disponibles, traités et réceptaires, nous avons démontré l’importance des options faites pour maintenir la fameuse dichromie originale, à chaque réaménagement de la cathédrale. Les qualités de l’encollage, des blancs d’apprêt, des carnations, bol et feuilles métalliques,sgraffito et autres couleurs sont précisées. L’attention est attirée sur le recours inhabituel au smalt en si grande quantité sur un retable, à la fin du XVIIe siècle, ses nuances de bleu ainsi que son polissage exigé par contrat. Du bleu de Prusse les a recouverts au XIXe siècle. Ces nouvelles connaissances permettent de faire une distinction entre la polychromie originale gothique, qui jouait sur des contrastes de textures et de brillances avec les ors à l’eau, à l’huile et l’azurite mat, et la repolychromie baroque totalement resplendissante entre l’or et le smalt brunis. Notre recherche s’est également attachée aux décors en relief qui reproduisent les patrons de riches étoffes brochées. Leur épaisseur et leur rendu technique différencient les «brocarts-appliqués» du XVIe siècle des «brocarts d’application» du XVIIe. Ils introduisent de subtils changements esthétiques au Baroque, sans modifier profondément notre perception d’un retable gothique.Sa polychromie, comparée à quinze sculptures du diocèse, reste atypique et porte ce trésor national au rang de Chef-d’oeuvre.

Nova variante do teste de Oddy envolvendo o uso de nanopartículas

A seguinte tese de mestrado está livremente disponível aqui:

Laura Moussa, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Applied to Art Conservation: Improved Oddy Test Using Silver Nanoparticle Sensor, Pittsburgh, The Carnegie Mellon University, 2007.

Resumo:

Damage to metal artifacts from the materials used for display and storage cases is of great concern to art museums. The current technology used, the “three in one” Oddy Test, tests for the suitability of these construction materials by placing silver, copper, and lead metal coupons in one container along with the material at 60°C and 100 % relative humidity. After a 28-day period the metal coupons are assessed for any visual changes. There are many shortcomings to this simple test. It is time consuming, irreproducible, slow, hard to evaluate and most importantly gives no quantitation. A new way to test for the suitability of these materials using a silver nanoparticle sensor is described here. Two types of silver nanoparticle shapes, spherical and triangular, were self-assembled using polyethylenimine (PEI) onto a glass coverslip to produce two different sensors. The spherical nanoparticle sensor gave a yellow color and when evaluated for its sensitivity to hydrogen sulfide gas changed colors from yellow to colorless. The triangular nanoparticle sensor gave a blue color and when evaluated for its sensitivity to hydrogen sulfide gas changed colors from blue to colorless. Color changes were followed through UV-Vis spectrophotometry, which showed a decrease in absorption of the initial characteristic peak after exposure to hydrogen sulfide. Kinetic studies were performed on the spherical and triangular nanoparticles, and the reaction rates were determined to be first-order with k = 0.0002 for the triangular nanoparticles and k = 0.0001 for the spherical nanoparticles. When compared to the Oddy Test, both the spherical and triangular silver nanoparticle sensors reacted fully by showing the characteristic color change before the 28-day period of the test. The nanoparticle sensor will allow for high sensitivity, easy evaluation, and quantitative analysis for corrosive gases that would react with silver.
