Innovative packaging solutions for storage and conservation of 20th century cultural heritage of artefacts based on cellulose derivative

A huge percentage of the recent European cultural heritage (CH) can be found in movies, photographies, posters and slides produced between 1895 and 1970 were made using cellulose derivates. More than 75 years of visual and audio memories are in serious danger to be lost due to the natural instability cellulose acetate (CA).

Conservators consider two approaches when planning treatments to extend the useful lifetime of cultural materials: preventive or passive and active or interventive. But in case of cellulose derivates and other components of the movie or photos, once initiated, degradation cannot be prevented, reversed or stopped, but only inhibited or slowed. Inhibitive conservation of cellulose derivates can either involve the removal or reduction of factors causing degradation including light, oxygen, acids, fungus and relative humidity among others, as well as cost-sensitive processes such as freeze.

NEMOSINE improves the traditional storage solutions, such as freeze storage (below 5ºC), by developing an innovative package with the main goal of energy saving and extent conservation time. NEMOSINE will develop: High O2 barrier and Active packaging using non-odour additives, Active acid adsorbers based on functionalized Metal Organic Framework (MOFs) integrated in innovative structures, Gas detection sensors to monitoring AA, O2 & NO, Multi-scale modelling to correlate degradation & sensors signals, Packaging with modular design to fulfil the technical & economical requirements of the different CH made by cellulose derivates.

WEBINAR: The NEMOSINE innovative package for the preservation of visual and audio Cultural Heritage material

3rd December 2021

Yesterday it was held the Webinar “The NEMOSINE innovative package for the preservation of visual and audio Cultural Heritage material” with the collaboration not only of our partners AIMPLAS, BESKIDPLUS and PNO, but also with an special guest: Piql, company also specialized in Cultural Heritage preservation.
Whether you were able to attend our webinar or not, you can now download the presentations made on our Dissemination - Material section (click here).
We thank all the participants for their support during the seminar and we hope to see you soon at upcoming events.



NEMOSINE TRAINING SESSIONS.
Presentations available to download.

8th November 2021

In October, NEMOSINE organised two training sessions aimed at the transference of knowledge across the research made for the preservation of Cultural Heritage. During those days, more than 50 participants had the opportunity to know more about applications and innovative solutions in topics such as sensoring, wireless control, metal-organic frameworks, acetic acid absorbers and foams. If you couldn’t attend these training sessions, now you have the opportunity to download the presentations made by NEMOSINE partners.
Please consult on the Dissemination & Material section or click here to access the complete list of presentations.
