Electrochemical Methods in Archaeometry, Conservation and Restoration

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Electrochemistry plays an important role in preserving our cultural heritage. For the first time this has been documented in the present volume. Coverage includes both electrochemical processes such as corrosion and electroanalytical techniques allowing to analyse micro- and nanosamples from works of art or archaeological finds. While this volume is primarily aimed at electrochemists and analytical chemists, it also contains relevant information for conservators, restorers, and archaeologists.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This monograph is most suitable for electrochemists wanting to learn about applications in archeology and art conservation. ... chapters are written at a lower-division undergraduate level and are easily accessible to a general educated public. ... Summing Up: Recommended. ... upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty with a background in electrochemistry." (L. D. Frame, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)
