Long-lasting methods to prevent biodeterioration of stone monuments: New silica nanosystem coupled to natural biocide

Flavia Bartoli, Zohreh Hosseini, Alma Kumbaric, Giulia Caneva
  • Abstract:
    The phenomenon of biodeterioration of stone materials is particularly relevant when the environmental conditions, the supply of nutrients, and the edaphic conditions (bioreceptivity) favor biological growth (Caneva et al. 2008; Cutler & Viles 2010; Miller et al. 2012). Different treatment methods, such as UV, laser cleaning, microwaves, and heat shock treatments (HSTs) (Tretiach et al. 2012; Mascalchi et al. 2015; Caneva & Tescari 2017; Fidanza & Caneva 2019), such as several biocidal substances have been used in combination with prevention strategies.
