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(bǔ)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)。
