In this paper the results of a research aimed at developing radically innovative process tailored for the restoration of both stone and textiles are reported. For stone, a new polymerisation procedure of poly(urethane-urea) by in situ polymerisation inside stone is described. Through the method set up a good penetration depth of the polymer into the stone pores is achieved, and the material obtained is characterized by high aggregative and consolidating efficiency. For textile materials, a new consolidating procedure, based on the grafting copolymerisation of acrylic monomers on the cellulose substrate has been set up and a high volume grafting chamber has been designed and realized, in order to carry out the grafting procedure onto large textile items of historical interest.

Abstract
In this paper the results of a research aimed at developing radically innovative process tailored for the restoration of both stone and textiles are reported. For stone, a new polymerisation procedure of poly(urethane-urea) by in situ polymerisation inside stone is described. Through the method set up a good penetration depth of the polymer into the stone pores is achieved, and the material obtained is characterized by high aggregative and consolidating efficiency. For textile materials, a new consolidating procedure, based on the grafting copolymerisation of acrylic monomers on the cellulose substrate has been set up and a high volume grafting chamber has been designed and realized, in order to carry out the grafting procedure onto large textile items of historical interest.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
