What are the Benefits in Cultural Heritage Preservation?
Nanotechnology offers unique solutions for the preservation of cultural heritage. Nanomaterials can be used to consolidate and protect historical structures and artifacts. For example, calcium hydroxide nanoparticles can be applied to deteriorating limestone and marble to restore their structural integrity and protect them from further decay. Additionally, nano-coatings can be applied to paintings and textiles to protect them from environmental damage while maintaining their original appearance.
