Non-destructive analysis of museum objects by fibre-optic Raman spectroscopy.
Raman spectroscopy is a versatile technique that has frequently been applied for the investigation of art objects. By using mobile Raman instrumentation it is possible to investigate the artworks without the need for sampling. This work evaluates the use of a dedicated mobile spectrometer for the investigation of a range...Vandenabeele, Peter ; Tate, Jim ; Moens, Luc

Alteration of soda silicate glasses by organic pollutants in museums: Mechanisms and kinetics
The role of the organic pollutants formic acid, acetic acid and formaldehyde in the alteration of unstable soda silicate glasses is examined through SIMS depth profiling of replica glass aged in polluted and non-polluted atmospheres under ambient conditions. The effect of different controlled atmospheres is compared to the polluted atmosphere...
