The science of oil paint cleaning is an interdisciplinary and challenging field of study due to
the complex nature of both paintings and cleaning materials. The topic requires an intimate …

Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy has been developed into an
important technique to study surfaces and interfaces. It can probe buried interfaces in situ …

A novel experimental approach, based on in situ FTIR spectroscopy in the transmission
mode, has been developed to monitor sorption–desorption behaviour of small molecules in …

Transport of water in an epoxy network with high cross-link density was investigated at
several water vapor activities by time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy and gravimetric …

In the restoration of paintings, solvent diffusion and swelling of polymeric oil paint binding
media are important factors to consider. Common cleaning methods with organic solvents or …

Over the past 2 decades, the use of time‐resolved Fourier transform infrared/attenuated total
reflection (ATR) spectroscopy for the measurement of diffusion in polymers has grown. ATR …

Understanding and predicting sorption thermodynamics of low molecular weight compounds
in rubbery and glassy polymers is of great relevance to elucidate important phenomena in …

The competitive diffusion of multicomponent gases in polymeric materials has been long
debated and rarely observed experimentally. In this contribution, we explore the diffusion of …

A hyphenated technique combining FTIR Spectroscopy and Barometry is implemented to
study transport properties of pure and mixed gases in rubbery polymers. FTIR spectroscopy …

Sorption of pure CO2 and CH4 and CO2/CH4 binary gas mixtures in amorphous glassy Poly
(2, 6-dimethyl-1, 4-phenylene) oxide (PPO) at 35° C up to 1000 Torr was investigated …
