In the present work, a study attempting to characterize the Manila elemi and Mexican copal resins from the Burseraceae family, which are used as components of varnishes and binding media of artworks, has been carried out. A new GC–MS... more
Thermooxidation at 100°C and photooxidation at wavelengths above 300 nm of dried oil films were evaluated. The chemical modifications of the networks were determined by infrared analysis coupled with gaseous treatments (NO, SF4, and NH3).... more
Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a standard technique for the characterisation of organic materials in conservation science. This analytical technique is particularly interesting to analyse historical varnishes from cultural artefacts, as... more
The application of varnishes on the surface of metal objects has been a very common practice since antiquity, both for protective and aesthetic purposes. One specific case concerns the use of tinted varnishes on copper alloys in order to... more

For the last 60years, varnishes of ancient musical instruments, particularly stringed instruments of the violin family dating 17th and 18th centuries, have been analysed to establish their chemical composition and multi-layered structure.... more
Two violins were investigated. The only intentionally introduced difference between them was the type of varnish. One of the instruments was covered with a spirit varnish, the other was oil varnished. Experimental modal analysis was done... more
The curing of drying oils at 60°C has been investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Fourier transform Raman analysis of linseed oil and poppyseed oil. In the first step, hydroperoxides are formed (broad vibration band... more
Keeping agents that cause biodeterioration under control is a common task in restoring and conserving artworks. However, there are very few studies, specifically those concentrating on pictorial works, that provide solutions compatible... more
