DC04: Portable analytical approaches to predict the deterioration of Medieval stained glass
Objectives
  • Identify elemental indicators (alkalis, earth-alkalis, transition metals) of glass instability using portable UV-Vis-NIR, p-XRF and Raman techniques.
  • Develop predictive models of alteration kinetics based on general composition using non-destructive testing.
Expected results
  • A tool for anticipating deterioration pathways of medieval stained glass based on non-invasive investigation.
