Funded Activity Summary

Developing and applying free radical quantum dots and diamonds: improving the performance of modern artists' paint. As a consequence of the introduction of synthetic materials during the twentieth century, modern works of art are particularly susceptible to free radical mediated deterioration. This project will develop new technology for the detection of free radical damage in these materials, and will inform conservators about their future protection and treatment.
