Novel Materials as Consolidants for Stone Strengthening

Adya Jain, Bimal Krishna Banik

Deformations in the sculptures and monuments can be restored by the help of nanomaterials which can penetrate in it easily without any harm. Consolidation thus strengthens the object and improves the durability. Conservationist has developed new techniques to make stronger and longer shelf life of historic monuments. Nanotechnology has given us a path to maintain our cultural heritage. Major applications are reviewed and enlisted in detail including novel nanomaterials and consolidation procedure.
