Ancient glazed ceramic tiles : a long-term, study from the remediation of environmental impacts to the non-destructive characterization of materials

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Since the involvement in a national research project in 1995-1997 with the partnership of the National Tile Museum in Lisbon, until a recent European project with partners from Mediterranean countries which cultural patrimony entails glazed ceramic tiles, the authors have been active in the non-destructive characterization of ceramic and vitreous materials used to manufacture ancient decorated tiles (16th-19th century) through the access to the European Synchroton Research Facility (ESRF, Grenoble/France). As an input to the preservation of this important cultural patrimony through the improvement of restoration techniques, a synopsis is presented of the work so far developed.
