Research groups

Inorganic materials

The field of inorganic materials includes a variety of construction materials such as stone, plaster, mortar etc. Monuments, or at least their parts, often survive for many centuries. To respect the basic rule of today's preservation of monuments - the maximum effort to safeguard the memory - it is required to search for methods and means of protection or restoration that cause minimal damage to the object and that, preferably, do not replace historic materials.

At our Department, we pay great attention to the research in the area of consolidation or stone waterproofing. Recently, the research focuses on the development of new stone consolidants based on organosilane compounds. Attention is also paid to the development of new compounds for artificial stone production. Being given the fact that the use of cement-based mortars and plasters is usually not advisable, research focuses also on lime-based and hydraulic lime-based mortars modification by polymer substances. Some older works were devoted to the modification of cement mortars by the addition of polymers and to the use of these mortars for strenghtening of the reverse of transfer murals. Part of the research also deals with the use of hollow glass or ceramic microsphere fillers. These expanded mortars may be used for the preparation of light pads for transfer murals. Currently, our research focuses on the behavior of vegetable oils in stone and on the possibilities of thir removal and on the behavior of spongilite during liquid consolidants infiltration.

Organic materials

The organic materials that could be found in historic buildings include wood, paper, parchment, leather, textiles and many other substances used as adhesives and binders (oils, resins, proteins, polysaccharides, waxes, etc.). In addition to the natural materials in the area of restoring and preserving monuments, synthetic materials are increasingly applied in recent decades, either as original artwork material or as a supplement material or preservative. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to these materials, to their aging and to the impact on the monument original materials.

In recent years, the research is focused mainly on timber. Extensive research on consolidation of wood as well as on protective agents properties and behavior has been carried out recently. 
In cooperation with the National Archives, our Department also participates in the research of archival materials - paper, parchment and leather. The research is focused mainly on deacidification of paper, leather oiling, disinfection of archive materials etc. Recently, we have cooperated with the restoration workshops of the Prague Castle in addressing issues of textile conservation (eg. adhesives removal). In the past, the Department conducted research on aging of oils and protein binders.

The Department co-operates with many restorers and professional workplaces in addressing the identification of organic (colored layer binders, coatings, adhesives etc.) and inorganic (eg. pigments) materials.

As a part of the general research, we examine the application of synthetic organic materials (consolidants, adhesives, water repellents etc.) and their impact on the monuments made of both organic and inorganic materials (stone, plaster).

The Institute of Chemical Technology of Monument Conservation organizes studies of Technology of Restoring and Preservation of Historical Monuments and forms part of the Process Technology and Processing of Polymers study branch.

After taking basic chemical engineering courses, students attend special lectures and do practical laboratory work. They study the problems of corrosive processes in basic materials used in historical monuments (stone, wood, paper, metals, glass and ceramics) as well as the methods of monuments protecting, preserving and restoring. Students also take selected courses that relate to the preservation, reconstruction and regeneration of historical buldings at the Faculty of Architecture (Czech Technical University in Prague). In order to acquire complex knowledge of the conservation-restauration problems, students work on field studies and visit specialized centres in museums, galleries etc. Study programs are completed by a bachelor or diploma thesis. Topics of theses are closely related to the research programs undertaken by the Institute of Chemical Technology. After finishing their master studies, students may attend postgraduate studies.

The Research in Art History group is concerned with complex art-historical research in the spheres of architecture, art and the applied creative arts. The research activities are centred on specific arts and crafts and artistic artefacts and collections thereof, and the study of historical technologies and materials in general. Emphasis is placed on inter-disciplinary cooperation, interconnection of the results of art-historical research with the information gained from technological research and restoration work in practice. The working group also includes specialists in the historical construction of structures, mediaeval and early modern and modern art, as well as historical glass objects. Team members cooperate with technologists and restoration workers on interdisciplinary research projects and also carry out artistic – historical research in selected areas in the history of art and artistic crafts. Important results of the team include especially a country-wide database concerned with the creative art of the second half of the 20th century in public areas (https://sochyamesta.cz) and mosaics (https://ceskemozaiky.cz).
