Table 5 Evaluation of polar and nonpolar nanocomposites from the painting conservators view
From: New treatments for canvas consolidation and conservation
Properties | Polar nanocomposite | Nonpolar nanocomposite |
|---|---|---|
Handling properties | Good | Good |
Swelling of fibers | High | Non |
Adhesion with cellulose fibers | Very good | Not tested |
Appearance | Smooth surface, small changes, darkens some canvas types | Smooth surface, slightly whitens the surface |
