Nanorestart: Nanomaterials for the restoration of works of art

The conservation of modern and contem-porary works of art requires advanced solutions at the cutting edge of modern chemistry and material science. In response to these challenges, the EU funded H2020 NANORESTART project (NANOmaterials for the RES-toration of works of ART) developed nano- and advanced functionalized materials to ensure long-term protection and security of modern/contemporary CH, taking into account environmental and human risks, feasibility and materials costs. This contribution illustrates the highlights of the project, mainly related (but not limited) to the conser-vation of easel paintings, as the latter represent one of the most iconic classes of CH objects worldwide.
