Proceedings of the Chemistry and Conservation Science ; In the last decade the great development of mass spectrometry techniques made them ideal tools for the characterization of many materials containing either inorganic or organic compounds. Pigments in paints, main constituents of glass and ceramic objects, enamels and glazes can be characterized by inorganic mass spectrometry. Temperas, varnishes and adhes...
Proceedings of the Chemistry and Conservation Science ; A brief description of different types of silicate glasses is made and the origin of colour in glasses is discussed. The principles of corrosion in glass, illustrated with a few examples, will be explained. Applications of several techniques in the chemical characterization of glasses will be shown, namely X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF), Scanning E...
The compound 7,4prime-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavylium (dracoflavylium) was identified as the major red colorant in samples of the resin ldquodragon's bloodrdquo, extracted from the tree Dracaena draco. The complex network of reversible chemical reactions that dracoflavylium undergoes in aqueous solution is fully described; for the first time, all the equilibrium constants that enable a complete characterisation of...
