Learning Objectives
The objectives of the course are knowledge of the constituent materials of the cultural heritage, with particular reference to the natural stone materials, artificial stone materials, ceramics and painting materials. Knowledge of the environment and environmental issues. Detailed knowledge of the interaction between environment and materials. Understanding and analysis of the types of alteration and degradation of the different materials. Knowledge of UNI-Normal recommendations. Use and interpretation of non-invasive and micro -invasive diagnostics.
Program
1. Introduction to Chemistry for Cultural Heritage: purposes and approaches on Cultural Heritage.
2. Archaeometry and Conservation Science.
3. Natural stone materials: Sedimentary, metamorphic and magmatic rocks used in art and architecture. Features and processing methods (h.3).
4. Artificial stone materials: lime, chalk, mortar, plaster, stucco (h.3).
5. Ceramic materials: raw materials, technology, ceramic materials classification, and characteristics. Bricks (h.9).
6. Painting materials: organic pigments, inorganic natural and artificial pigments. Chemical and physical properties. Organic binders: characteristics and properties (h.3) .
7. Environmental issues according to the Cultural Heritage: micro and macro-environmental factors. Pollution and particulate (h.1).
8. Alteration and degradation of materials: phenomena and types of alteration and degradation of the materials. Causes and mechanisms of formation (h.2)
9. Standardized methods for knowledge and cultural heritage: UNI, Normal recommendations.
10. Non-invasive diagnostics: IR, IR-FC, XRF, RX, UV (h.3).
11. Micro invasive diagnostics: key studies of Cultural Heritage materials using optical and electronic microscopy, Raman, X-ray fluorescence , x-ray diffraction (h.6).
12. Bibliography

- Assessment
Oral examination and optical microscope test.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
Additional Information for Non-Attending Students
- Teaching
- Practical exercises in the laboratory under the supervision of the teacher and delivery materials didactic.
- Attendance
- Contact the teacher for exercises under an optical microscope.
