Description

The CRYSTINART project aims developing an integrated approach for modelling and analysis of the decay of artworks due to salt crystallization in layered materials. The collaboration between exact scientists and conservation specialists promotes interdisciplinary research on the major causes of degradation of porous objects – and artworks in particular. The partnership with DMEX allows integrating X-ray tomographic analysis of artefacts to elucidate on crystallization-induced damage.
