The challenge for conservators lies in finding a cleaning agent that will act on one layer without affecting the layer being preserved and without leaving any harmful residues on the cleaned work. This book, which examines gel cleaning in the treatment of paintings and painted works of art, presents the methodologies, data, and results of a collaborative project of the Getty Conservation Institute and Winterthur Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the issues covered are the theory and application of gel cleaning systems, the detection of residues left on the surfaces of objects cleaned with these systems, research into solvent-gel and solvent residues, stability of surfactants during natural and artificial aging, and recommendations for formulating gels for specific cleaning tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors include scientists from the Getty Conservation Institute; California State University, Northridge; Fogg Art Museum; the Winterthur\/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation; and Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated Getty Conservation Institute projects: Gels Cleaning Research\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e180 pages\u003cbr\u003e8 1\/2 x 11 inches\u003cbr\u003e6 color and 34 b\/w illustrations\u003cbr\u003e75 charts and graphs\u003cbr\u003e23 tables\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-0-89236-759-7\u003cbr\u003epaperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGetty Publications\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Getty Conservation Institute\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Research in Conservation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2004\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GETTY TRUST PUBLICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67889365221655,"sku":"khh1792568167681","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/8479\/4647\/files\/solvent-gels-for-the-cleaning-of-works-of-art-the-residue-question_1.jpg?v=1792568174","url":"https:\/\/riverlyn.shop\/products\/solvent-gels-for-the-cleaning-of-works-of-art-the-residue-question","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
