Abstract
Samples of chestnut wood taken from modern age structures in the Campania Region were subjected to chemical and physical analysis in order to examine the microstructural variations in the material as a result of exposure to microwaves with the aim of devitalising colonies of xylophages. Results showed that the use of microwaves does not lead to alterations in the structure of the wood, but does bring about variations in its hygroscopicity and permeability.
期刊介绍：
Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage is an international peer reviewed journal which continues Quaderni di Scienza della Conservazione. Main topics of publication: • Study of the system: artifact-environment-biota • Historical-artistic knowledge of cultural heritage (i.e. author, art movement, period of realization, techniques, society and cultural characteristics, socio-economic context, commissioning, financing, interested public) • History, diagnosis, restoration, maintenance, conservation, valorization, prevention • Document research • Book, codex, and manuscript production in its historical context • Appropriate methodologies and analytical techniques used for the characterization of historical artifacts and evaluation of the conservation state • Environmental monitoring: assessment of atmospheric pollution and correlated degradation of monuments and historical-artistic sites • Micro and macroclimatic monitoring in confined areas (i.e. museums, libraries, archives, churches, galleries…) • Art diagnostics and evaluation of the authentication of art works • Art market and auction houses • Experiences in cultural heritage conservation • Evaluation of the suitability of products for restoration, conservation, and maintenance of works of art • Information science and cultural heritage: data processing and cataloguing methods • Virtual re-elaboration and use of historical artifacts and environments • Study, valorization and digitalization of archive and library heritage • Environmental context and technical-conservative issues related to historic architecture • Virtual or traditional conservation, cataloguing and processing of photographs • Various other topics including education, safeguard, education, legislation, economics, social aspects, management, marketing, interdisciplinarity, internationalization, etc.
