Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditional and recent materials are extending the frontiers of application, leading to improvements in the environmental impact and sustainability. However, the material properties as related to their compatibility, performance, reversibility, and long-term durability should be evaluated for general or precise applications.
This Special Issue focuses on the study of classic materials, such as ceramics, glass, glazing, wood, metals, alloys, textiles, earth, stone, mortars, renders, plasters, pigments, and paper, as well as modern materials (nano, composite, hybrid, or bio-based) used in conservation and restoration applications.
