    New trends and applications of ionizing radiation for preservation of cultural heritage tangible materials
    2022 - VASQUEZ, PABLO A.S.; VIEIRA, ANA C.; LIMA, LENI; NAGAI, MARIA L.; KODAMA, YASKO; OLIVEIRA, MARIA J.; SANTOS, PAULO
    Disinfection of cultural heritage artefacts and archived materials using ionizing radiation has been successfully applied and accepted by the Brazilian conservation and preservation institutions and community in recent years. Several works of art, museum collections artefacts, books, manuscripts, drawings, archive documents, musical instruments, ethnographic objects, archaeological findings and natural history collections have been decontaminated. Several research studies have been developed addressing the behaviour of cellulosic based materials treated with the ionizing radiation. However, many Brazilian collections have objects made from the most diverse constitutive materials and these are affected by biodeterioration. In order to the effective decontamination of the most diverse types of objects there was a need to establish protocols for care of institutions and individuals carrying cultural and historical collections and for the effective processing by ionizing radiation in the facilities respecting the ethical principles of conservation and restoration covering activities from the problem detection to the final cleaning. Additionally, ionizing radiation has allowed the development of innovative nanostructured cross-linked materials, with applicability in cleaning delicate surfaces. This work presents the most recent results of the effect of ionizing radiation on morphology and physicochemical properties of photographic and cinematographic films, featherwork and botanical collections – exsiccate; as well as the protocols developed as a practical guide for conservatives and professionals of the irradiation for treatment of tangible objects. Preliminary results of nanostructured cross-linked polymeric hydrogels for cleaning surface of artworks obtained by ionizing radiation are also presented. The IAEA sponsored projects have helped to increase the acceptance of nuclear technology by the Brazilian society, especially by the community of restorers, curators and conservators of material cultural goods. The research developed and disseminated with the support of IAEA contributes to the understanding that the cultural heritage is the legacy of physical artefacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and restored for the benefit of future generations.

    Preservation of photographic and cinematographic films by gamma radiation- preliminary analyses
    2017 - NAGAI, MARIA L.E.; SANTOS, PAULO S.; OTUBO, LARISSA; OLIVEIRA, MARIA J.A.; VASQUEZ, PABLO A.S.
    Brazilian weather conditions affect directly tangible materials causing deterioration notably getting worse by insects and fungi attack. In this sense, gamma radiation provided from the cobalt-60 is an excellent alternative tool to the traditional preservation process mainly because it has biocidal action. Radiation processing using gamma radiation for cultural heritage materials for disinfection has been widely used around the world in the last decades. Many cultural heritage objects especially made on paper and wood were studied in scientific publications aiming mechanical, physical and chemical properties changes. Over the last fifteen years, the Multipurpose Gamma Irradiation Facility of the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute located inside the Sao Paulo University campus has been irradiated many collections of archived materials, books, paintings and furniture. Adequate storage of photographic and cinematographic materials is a challenge for conservators from preservation institutions. Contamination by fungi is one of leading causes of problem in photographic and cinematographic collections. Several Sao Paulo University libraries have been affected by fungi in their photographic and cinematographic collections making it impossible to research on these materials either manipulate them for health and safety reasons. In this work are presented preliminary results of effects of the ionizing radiation in photographic and cinematographic films. Selected film samples made on cellulose acetate were prepared and characterized by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy. Samples were irradiated by gamma rays with absorbed dose between 2 kGy and 50 kGy. Irradiated samples were analyzed by UV-VIS spectroscopy and electron microscopy techniques. Results shown that disinfection by gamma radiation can be achieved safely applying the disinfection dose between 6 kGy to 15 kGy with no significant change or modification of main properties of the constitutive materials.
