Foreword
The book forms an excellent blueprint and a welcome step in bringing nanosciences to the tangible cultural heritage community deriving from archaeological sites and artefacts, collections in museums, masterpieces, buildings and monuments. It gives a good overview on the uniqueness of cultural heritage systems that need to be studied by physico-chemical sciences in an interdisciplinary way, with the help of specialists of pure disciplines (physics, chemistry, material sciences) associated with those practicing interface disciplines such as archaeometry, and conservation science. This complexity of approaches to investigate a large number of objects, with a large heterogeneity at different scales, explains why the nanoaspects of cultural heritage systems have only appeared fairly recently. Indeed, this book is the first attempt to review how nanoscience is bringing new insights into this area. I find the ambitious approach to cover the whole value chain from the importance of nanoaspects in ancient technologies of cultural heritage systems, through nanotechnologies and analytical strategies to characterise cultural heritage objects, up to the stage of their conservation and protection, in addition to new technologies, as well as the implications for societies including environmental aspects, very impressively. The book covers all topics from nanoparticles, nanomaterials and nanocomponents, from fundamentals of composition, structure and properties to nanosyntheses and processing aspects, characterisation, analytical techniques, and modelling. It also covers the conservation and protection of cultural heritage with nanomaterials, e.g., aspects such as corrosion, de-acification, etc., and cleaning and restoring. The book introduces a large panel of prospect developments, largely due to the fact that the use of suitable nano-analytical methods within a multiscaleinvestigation, is still in its infancy and also because possible applications in specific material science (i.e., bio-inspired materials) and conservation methods, motivates education and offers an emerging field of research and
