Produktbeschreibung

Chemical and physical analytical methods that are used to study art materials and archaeological objects have shown that such scientific investigation is an essential tool for acquiring information on the materials that make up these objects and for assessing their decay. Organic Mass Spectrometry in Art and Archaeology provides an overview of the analysis of art and archaeological materials, presenting the fundamental principles along with procedures and various mass spectrometric techniques used, including LC/MS, GC/MS, Tof-SIMS and compound-specific stable isotope analysis. Included within this text, from an international group of contributors, are: * Case studies and examples illustrating how techniques can be used to reveal the history of objects, including how they were produced * Didactic examples of the analytical results of real samples * A comprehensive and relevant bibliography Edited by world-wide respected specialists with extensive experience of the GC/MS analysis of art objects, this text will provide a useful source of information to scientists, researchers, students, archaeologists, art historians and museum conservators and anyone with an interest in art conservation and restoration.

Autorenporträt

Maria Perla Colombini is Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Pisa. Her teaching activities are related to courses in analytical chemistry and the chemistry of cultural heritage. Her research is related to the development of analytical procedures based on spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques for the characterisation of micropollutants in the environment and of organic materials and their degradation products in works of art and archaeological objects. She is leader/participant of several national and international research projects for the safeguard of Cultural Heritage and coordinates the research group of the Laboratory of Chemical Sciences for the Safeguard of Cultural Heritage. She is a member of the staff of the Chemistry of Environment and Cultural Heritage of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI). Her research has resulted in over 150 publications in refereed journals and books, and in over 200 lectures at national and international congresses. Francesca Modugno is a Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry at the University of Pisa, Italy. After graduation cum laude in Analytical Chemistry in 1997, she received her PhD in Chemical Science from University of Pisa in 2001. She teaches analytical chemistry and chemometrics and her research in the Laboratory of Chemical Science for the Safeguard of Cultural Heritage, at the Department of Chemistry of University of Pisa, deals with the application of analytical methods based on chromatography and mass spectrometry to the characterisation and the study of the degradation of organic natural materials in historical and artistic objects, with specific attention to lipids, proteins, terpenic resins and natural waxes. She has published approximately 18 papers in the last six years.

Rezensionen

"Nevertheless, this book provides a great overview both forstudents and beginning scholars in conservation science. Itwill function as a book of reference for experienced conservationscientists." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2010)

"Minor criticisms aside, this is a really useful sourcebook andshould be consulted by everyone working in the field."(Chromatographia, November 2010)

"Overall, I can recommend this book to those who wish to learn howorganic mass spectrometric techniques can help unravel very old butalso very interesting and relevant mysteries. In particular, Ithink all archaeometry researchers who are unfamiliar with thesetechniques will be pleasantly surprised by the currentopportunities offered by MS (e.g., TOF-SIMS can provide directimaging information from a solid sample), and they may discover newways to enhance or complement their current research." (AmericanSociety for Mass Spectrometry, 2011)

"The book is an extensive source of information with numerouscase studies and examples illustrating how MS can be used to revealthe history of objects". (Materials World, 1 October 2010)"

Contributors discuss organic compounds and analytical techniquesat an undergraduate level with multiple easy-toreference tables andcharts. In addition, all chapters include extensive bibliographiesfor supplementary information at both introductory and advancedlevels." (CHOICE, 2010)
