This book aims to give state of the art in several domains of
cultural heritage in which Nanosciences allow fundamental
breakthrough. The first part of the book concerns
nanostructured materials in ancient artifacts. Understanding their
nature and formation processes bring new insight in the
apprehension of technical level of ancient societies but can also
inspire the design of new materials. The second part is
dedicated to the understanding of materials. This crucial issue in
material science today, for cultural heritage, needs to perform
specific characterization techniques and technologies, but also to
create tailored analytical strategies. Part three presents new
methods, processes and materials at nano levels that can bring
innovative solutions to conservation and restoration issues,
linked with the understanding of the alteration processes involved
at different scales.
