The ‘nanomatch’ European project (nano-systems for the conservation of immovable and movable polymaterial Cultural Heritage in a changing environment), coordinated by A. Bernardi (CNR-ISAC, Italy), was launched at the end of 2011 for a duration of three years. Its purpose is to develop two conservation products using nanotechnology that can be applied to stone, wood (whether or not painted) and glass, and which provides better compatibility, effectiveness and durability than conventional products, while respecting the environment. The CICRP‘s contribution will be in the context of work evaluating the compatibility of these products, in terms of projects conducted by the LRMH on mural stone and paintings.
