Nanochemistry meets heritage science for the creation, analysis and conservation of artworks

Heritage science focuses on the understanding and management of cultural heritage by adopting an approach that is not merely multidisciplinary, but rather seeks to merge different skills and expertise into a truly interdisciplinary method. This sessions aims to give state of the art in several domains of heritage science in which nanochemistry in alliance with archaeology, art history and conservation, allows to lead significant steps forward in the understanding and preservation of artworks. Lectures are devoted to nanostructured materials in ancient artifacts, novel SERS substrates for dye analysis and new methods, processes and materials at nano-levels that can bring innovative solutions to conservation and restoration issues.
