ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The present study is focused on the testing of new nanostructured products for the consolidation and protection of archaeological stone blocks located in the Roman-Hellenistic quarter of the Temple Valley of Agrigento (Sicily). In particular, an in situ measurement methodology was applied for testing different nanostructured products. The consolidation effectiveness was validated by non destructive tests in order to monitor the absorption capacity and the color change of the samples after the treatment. The research has been developed in the context of the Master on “Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for Cultural Heritage”, held at the University Centre of Agrigento during the Academic Year 2010-2011.
