Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

At the end of the course, the student will acquire knowledge on new materials employed in cultural heritage for conservation and restoration (consolidants, protectives, cleaning agents). In addition, the student will acquire knowledge concerning analytical approach for the material characterization as well as for their assessment in conservation practices.

Contenuti

The course will be focused on advanced materials used in conservation with particular reference to systems for the consolidation, protection and cleaning.

  • Principles of polymer science: synthesis, properties and degradation
  • Polymer characterization: diagnostic approaches for the assessment and selection criteria of the polymeric material.
  • Nanostructures for cultural heritage
  • Nanostructured hydroxides and carbonates for consolidation.
  • Microemulsions, Micelles and Gels: principles and application for cleaning cultural heritage.
Analytical methods for the evaluation of the system performances.

Metodi didattici

PREREQUISITE:

TO TAKE THE EXAM IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE ALREADY PASSED THE COURSE 'CHEMISTRY FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE'

The course includes both classroom lectures with powerpoint presentations and laboratory sessions for practical experience

 

Activities in the chemical laboratory are planned. To attend the practical part students are required to attend Module 1 and 2 in e- learning mode [https://www.unibo.it/it/servizi-e-opportunita/salute-e-assistenza/salute-e-sicurezza/sicurezza-e-salute-nei-luoghi-di-studio-e-tirocinio] and a Module 3 about health and safety in study places. Information about the dates and modes to attend module 3 will be published on the Degree Course website

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

The final exam consists of a discussion on the topics covered in class, aimed at the evaluation of the theoretical knowledge acquired during the course, the possession of a specific language and the acquisition of an organic vision of the topics covered in class.
Good or excellent grades can be achieved by students who demonstrate a critical knowledge of the subject, who are able to apply theoretical concepts to practical examples and make use of an appropriate language. Mostly mnemonic knowledge, limited abilities of synthesis and analysis and imprecise language lead to grades ranging from discrete to sufficient. Important gaps, inappropriate language, lack of an overview of the topics covered will inevitably lead to a barely adeguate grade or to a negative evaluation.

The topics discussed during the laboratory session are an integral part of the oral examination.

At the end the teacher assigns a score (from 18/18 to a max of 30/30 cum laude) that reflects student's degree of preparation.
