砂巖類文物是世界歷史文化遺產(chǎn)的重要組成部分,包括古建筑、石窟寺、石刻雕像和歷史紀(jì)念碑等。由于砂巖本身的特性以及戶外因素的影響,這類文物受溫度、濕度、水、可溶鹽、紫外線等的侵蝕,出現(xiàn)不同程度的劣化。為了保護(hù)這些文物,亟需開發(fā)合適的材料對其進(jìn)行有效保護(hù),保護(hù)或延緩這些因素造成的侵蝕和破壞。
近期,西安交通大學(xué)和玲/潘愛釗課題組針對硅酸鹽材質(zhì)的砂巖基石窟文物風(fēng)化病害的特征及病害形成機(jī)理(砂巖內(nèi)部膠結(jié)質(zhì)流失)等問題,將膨潤土基抗膨脹水凝膠在砂巖基文物中原位形成以彌補流失的膠結(jié)質(zhì)。首先通過組分和條件控制調(diào)控了膨潤土基水凝膠的原位形成時間和抗膨脹性,進(jìn)而通過熒光示蹤技術(shù)研究了膨潤土基水凝膠材料在砂巖內(nèi)部的分布,并深入評估了其在砂巖中的長效保護(hù)效果,最終研究了其戶外應(yīng)用。該成果在期刊《ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces》上發(fā)表,題為“Insight into a Bentonite-based Hydrogel for the Conservation of Sandstone-based Cultural Heritage: In-situ Formation, Reinforcement Mechanism, and High-Durability Evaluation”的文章(DOI: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.2c13122)。
