Improved Damage Assessment of Parchment, IDAP: micro and non-destructive analysis and diagnosis for proper storage and treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
The general progression of the deterioration of parchment collagen from a fibrous to a gelatine-like state was a major subject of study in the European joint project ‘Methods in the Micro-Analysis of Parchment’. The analytical results from this project strongly indicate that a correlation between physical properties at macroscopic and microscopic levels can be made. The new European joint project ‘Improved Damage Assessment of Parchment’ aims to assess damage in historical parchments at the macro, micro and molecular levels with the objective of establishing a Parchment Damage Assessment Programme (PDAP), an Early Warning System (EWS) and a Digitised Userfriendly Parchment Damage Atlas (DUPDA), all made available on the Internet.

On Oxidative Degradation of Parchment and Its Non-destructive Characterisation and Dating
Historic parchment is an extremely complex material, not only due to the various methods of production used and various past environmental histories of objects, but also due to its inhomogeneous structure. Many traditional methods of characterisation are empirical, but useful since they have gained recognition by the end-users. In this paper, we investigated the shrinkage temperature of collage...
متن کاملNON-DESTRUCTIVE THERMAL DAMAGE CHARACTERIZATION OF CORDIERITE-MULLITE REFRACTORIES
Abstract: Refractory materials containing cordierite (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2) and mullite (3Al2O3.2SiO2) are used as support in furnaces, because of their low thermal expansion properties which confer them a very good ability to thermal shock resistance. Composed of two phases presenting very different CTE (1.5–3×10-6 for cordierite and 4–6×10-6 K-1 for mullite), these materials can develop damag...

As an efficient alternative to fossil fuels, renewable energy sources have attained great attention due to their sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly characteristic. However, as a deficiency, renewable energy sources have low reliability because of their non-deterministic and stochastic generation pattern. The use of hybrid renewable generation systems along with the storag...
