Poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) hydrogels for the cleaning of art [PDF]
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2019 The cleaning of modern and contemporary paintings is a delicate and challenging operation. Many contemporary paintings exhibit rough, clotted and pitted surfaces, where the removal of soil is difficult. Gels are among the most efficient tools to achieve controlled and efficient cleaning of works of art.
