Doménech-Carbό A, Doménech-Carbό M.T., Costa V. Electrochemical Methods in Archaeometry, Conservation and Restoration

Springer, 2009. — 177 p. — (Monographs in Electrochemistry). — ISBN: 3540928677.Electrochemistry plays an important role in preserving our cultural heritage. For the first time this has been documented in the present volume. Coverage includes both electrochemical processes such as corrosion and electroanalytical techniques allowing to analyse micro- and nanosamples from works of art or archaeological finds.Application of Instrumental Methods in the Analysis of Historic, Artistic and Archaeological Objects
