Application of polymerization techniques to the treatment of woods gorged with water

Abstract

From international conference on application of nuclear data in the field of work of art; Rome-Venice, Italy (24 May 1973). Wooden objects from stagnant or flowing waters have great value for the study of prehistory and protohistory. The preservation of these objects offers great difficulties as the elimination of the water causes them to crack, warp, or sag irreversibly. Ancient water-saturated woods were studied botanically, physicochemically, and biologically in order to develop techniques for their preservation in their original form. The studies showed that the simultaneous use of a technique of liquid-liquid extraction of the water and the polymerization under gamma radiation of the monomer introduced by substitution offers possibilities which merit a more in-depth study.
