Silica‐Functionalized Nanolimes for the Conservation of Stone Heritage

Small, 2023
AbstractThe relatively recent development of nanolimes (i.e., alcoholic dispersions of Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles) has paved the way for new approaches to the conservation of important art works. Despite their many benefits, nanolimes have shown limited reactivity, back‐migration, poor penetration, and lack of proper bonding to silicate substrates.
