摘要

Faced with an ecological emergency, the world of conservation and restoration of cultural property is at a crossroad. Apart from the UNESCO conventions and the new approaches to sustainable development, heritage professionals are required to combine the preservation of works of art with environmental protection. GREENART, (GREen ENdeavor in Art ResToration) – a European research program HORIZON-CL2-2021-HERITAGE-01 is determined to fight against these harmful effects through new proposals and adequate alternatives. The objective is the development of novel materials based on green materials from waste and plant proteins or natural polymers and biodegradable/compostable polymers from renewable sources and evaluate their application and functionality for cleaning cultural heritage objects. The University of West Attica research team is developing new methodologies, mainly based on spectral imaging techniques, to evaluate the applicability and efficacy of the GREENART cleaning materials to works of art, using sacrificial objects. This paper discusses the methodology for the assessment of the newly innovated green gels and fluids, comprised imaging techniques (VIS in reflected, transmitted and raking mode, UVL, IRR, IRRFC, spectral cubes), colorimetry, glossimetry, p-XRF, ATR-FTIR and SEM microanalysis.
