Conservation of painted surfaces, metal leaves, and finishes requires a deep knowledge of both the materials themselves and the supports and the interaction phenomena occurring among them. Superficial treatments, operations, and materials adopted during the conservation intervention can modify the complex system of existing interactions. Therefore, it is fundamental to predict possible induced changes of the chemical-physical properties of the systems. This Special Issue aims at contributing to the definition of the state-of-the-art in the approach to conservation problems of painted surfaces, metal leaves, and finishes. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to: Methodological approaches for the conservation treatments of the painted surfaces, metal leaves, and finishes; Analytical tools and protocols for the validation of the treatment efficacy and recognizability; Analytical tools for the characterization of surface materials and their decay processes; New materials and treatments.

Technology: general issues --- History of engineering & technology --- Materials science --- Maya blue --- wall paintings --- sixteenth century --- palygorskite --- X-ray fluorescence --- X-ray diffraction --- paintings --- metal soaps --- natural resins --- varnishes --- smalt --- shellac --- copper alloys --- UV-induced fluorescence --- FTIR spectroscopy --- eddy current --- UV imaging --- artificial ageing --- non-invasive characterization --- polychromy --- polychrome stone statue --- adhesion and cohesion products --- conservation of pictorial films on stone --- violin --- XRF --- FTIR --- reflection infrared spectroscopy --- 3D scan --- stratigraphy --- varnish --- musical instrument --- 14th century --- wood-carved --- microscopy --- Raman --- SEM-EDX --- materials --- pigments --- laser cleaning --- Er:YAG laser --- efficacy evaluation --- Manet --- painting --- portrait --- woman --- 19th century --- extenders --- original materials --- later alterations --- cultural heritage --- conservation --- wooden sculpture --- ancient Egyptian --- ancient Egyptian painting materials --- cleaning treatment --- water based systems --- poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels --- archaeometry --- n/a
