Producing New Stone Consolidants for the Conservation of Monumental Stones

MRS Proceedings, 2004
ABSTRACTA customary procedure in the protection of monumental buildings is the consolidation of decaying stone by the application of commercial products containing tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). These products polymerize within the porous structure of the decaying stone, significantly increasing the cohesion of the material. However, TEOS-based consolidants

Weathering and conservation of tuff stone

2020
<p>Tuff stone, a porous pyroclastic rock, is a light and soft material. Hence, tuff is easy to handle and to transport. It is used as construction material in numerous historical buildings. Due to its high water absorption and retention potential, heterogeneous pore structure, and clay mineral content, tuff is highly sensitive to

Prognostic Factors in the Conservative Treatment of Ureteric Stones

British Journal of Urology, 1991
Summary— A prospective study was made of 125 ureteric stones in order to detect factors which would predict the successful outcome of conservative treatment. The factors studied were the duration of pain prior to presentation, pyuria, haematuria, surface regularity of the stone and the degree of obstruction as ...

Stone Conservation on Buildings and Monuments

1973
The rapid, visible decay of stone in urban areas has made it necessary to protect stone surfaces from premature decay; the attempt is to halt the natural process of stone decay but we can merely slow down nature’s continuous gnawing. Protective commercial chemicals have been applied since the 17 th century. The heterogeneity of stone, however, does not
