The Conference scope is to create a bridge of communication between interdisciplinary units in the field of archaeometry. It took several years for the scientific and art historical knowledge to be brought together and establish a new era on approaching preservation of cultural heritage. Nowadays, the contribution of natural sciences to characterize and document artistic materials is well known. Generally, these applied sciences, especially physics and chemistry, contribute to a deeper understanding of cultural heritage artefacts and shed light on different aspects related to the origin of the work of art or its chronology. The topics to be addressed within the conference sessions are (amongst others): New technological developments In vitro experimental set-ups and degradation mechanisms In situ experiments and mobile instrumentation The need on non-invasive and non-destructive analysis Imaging techniques Environmental issues on the preservation of art and archaeological objects Special Focus on Contemporary Art Danilo Bersani Chair, Local Organizing Committee INART 2018 ORGANIZING SECRETARIAT INART 2018 MV Congressi – Meeting ans Association Management Via Marchesi 26 D, 43126 Parma – Italy Tel. +39 0521 290191 Fax: +39 0521 291314 www.mvcongressi.com – [email protected] 3 3rd International Conference on Innovation in Art Research and Technology 3rd International Conference on Innovation in Art Research and Technology – INART 2018, Parma, Italy PROGRAM AT A GLANCE Monday 26 Tuesday 27 Wednesday 28 Thursday 29 9.00 Invited Talk 3: 9.00 Scientific 9.00 Scientific L.

Dto. Química-Física. Facultad de Ciencias. Universidad de Cádiz ~ Cádiz ~ Spain In recent decades, the alarming growth of environmental pollution in cities has seriously affected the conservation and maintenance of historic buildings and other exposed works of architecture and art. It is obvious that stone and concrete-based structures, particularly buildings, monuments, sculptures and archaeological remains, are among the most vulnerable to atmospheric pollution since they are continuously exposed in outdoor environments. To date the products commonly employed in the restoration and conservation of these materials have not been specifically developed for preserving such elements of Cultural Heritage. In addition, they are plagued by limited performance and structural drawbacks, such as low adhesion, poor penetration and cracking. Another disadvantage is the requirement for most products to be dissolved in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which produces environmental and human health risks in their use. In this lecture, I will review the most meaningful achievements of my group in this field. Specifically, we have developed a surfactant-assisted sol-gel synthesis to produce, in-situ on the stonework, crack-free nanomaterials to be used as long-term consolidants. Recently, an inverse- micelle mechanism has been proposed to explain the formation of crack-free, SiO2 xerogels produced by this route. Additionally, hydrophobic, water-repellent, self-cleaning, and biocidal properties can be incorporated into the product by innovative chemical modifications of the proposed synthesis route. Finally, I will try to summarize the future challengers of our group in this field. Especially, our investigation related to conservation of historic concrete in the framework of the Horizon 2020 project “InnovaConcrete” will be described. The Portland cement production promoted a complete revolution in construction techniques, giving rise to Modern architecture in the first years of the 20th Century. The new reinforced structures were often left in fair-faced condition and exhibited as a symbolic material. The common use of fair-faced concrete, without coatings or painting, obviously increases its susceptibility to suffer decay, especially when subjected to an aggressive environment. Therefore, the research and development of surface treatments, especially hydrophobic agents to prevent water ingress and consolidants able to fill cracks produced by decay, are identified as a key topic for preserving historic concretes. 6 3rd International Conference on Innovation in Art Research and Technology 3rd International Conference on Innovation in Art Research and Technology – INART 2018, Parma, Italy I.2 Invited Speaker 2 ABSTRACT I.2.1 NANOMATERIALS CONTRIBUTION TO A MORE SUSTAINABLE CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE Fernandez F.*[1] [1]I.E.ME.S.T.
