ZnO coated nanoparticles based on acrylic copolymer for protecting historic calcareous stone monuments

Historical calcareous stone surfaces may undergo unwanted changes due to the exposure to many physical and chemical deterioration factors. This paper evaluates the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles, dispersed in a laboratorial prepared acrylic copolymer [polyethylmethacrylate/methylacrylate (70:30) (P...
