Delamination of Oil Paints on Acrylic Grounds

Photo-oxidative Stability of a Series of Red Acrylic Paints

Photo-oxidative stability of a series of most common red acrylic paints has been investigated. The paints in question were carmine, quinacridone scarlet, alizarin crimson, brilliant red, vermilion and cadmium red hue. Structural changes, discoloration and weight loss of paints film subjected to UV irradiation in an accelerated ageing chamber were measured using FT-IR spectroscopy, colorimetry a...

Solvent Leaching Effects on Aged Oil Paints

This paper presents a survey of significant developments in research on the leaching of oil paint films by organic solvents, from the first systematic investigations carried out in the 1950s to more recent “clinical” studies involving the sampling and analysis of paintings during treatment. Key studies are discussed in the context of an improved knowledge of oil paint chemistry that has develop...

Silver-nanoparticle-embedded antimicrobial paints based on vegetable oil.

Developing bactericidal coatings using simple green chemical methods could be a promising route to potential environmentally friendly applications. Here, we describe an environmentally friendly chemistry approach to synthesize metal-nanoparticle (MNP)-embedded paint, in a single step, from common household paint. The naturally occurring oxidative drying process in oils, involving free-radical e...

Further Investigations of Colorant Database Development for Two-Constant Kubelka- Munk Theory for Artist Acrylic and Oil Paints

It is a common practice to prepare tint ladders of each colorant consisting of five or more concentrations in order to develop a colorant database for instrumental-based color matching, characterization of optical properties of a coloration system, and pigment mapping. For two-constant Kubelka-Munk theory, the unit absorption and scattering coefficients for each colorant can be solved by the li...
