Scientific article about Rapid Prototypes

Researchers from UCL have recently published a paper on the Heritage Science Journal about the preservation of rapid prototypes, which is one of the main goal of NANORESTART project.

The paper is entitled "Preserving rapid prototypes: a review", and it is authored by Carolien Coon, Boris Pretzel, Tom Lomax and Matija Strli?.

It has received attention and featured in the following blogs and websites:

Michele Baglioni et al. (CSGI, NMD), "Nanofluids and chemical hydrogels for the selective removal of overpaintings and undesired graffiti from street art"
Rodorico Giorgi et al. (CSGI, CNR-DSCTM), "Film-forming gels for the removal of corrosion products from copper-based artifacts"

NANORESTART at Nanoinnovation 2016

NANORESTART partners (CSGI, T-UCC and CNR-DSCTM) will be presenting an overview on some of the recent achievements in the frame of the project at the conference Nanoinnovation, held in Rome 20^th-23^rd September 2016.

This is the list and the titles of the talks:

Piero Baglioni (CSGI), "NANOmaterials for the RESToration of works of ART"
Rodorico Giorgi (CSGI), "Nanofluids for the removal of graffiti from Stree-Art mural paintings"
Daniela Iacopino (T-UCC), "Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) for Characterization of Inks for Cultural Heritage and Forensic Applications"
Marino Lavorgna (CNR-DSCTM), "Polymeric Smart Coatings for the Active Protection of Modern Bronze Artefacts"

NANORESTART in BBC Science in Action

Several partners of the NANORESTART project have been recently interviewed for a package on Nanotechnology in the conservation of modern art on Science in Action on the world service.

Here you can find a very short teaser clip of the program.

Otherwise, you can listen to the full program here - NANORESTART discussion starts at 09:10.
