Multifunctional TiO2 coatings for Cultural Heritage
Mauro Francesco La Russa,Silvestro Antonio Ruffolo,Natalia Rovella,Cristina Maria Belfiore,Anna Maria Palermo,Maria T. Guzzi,Gino Mirocle Crisci +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation system that could take advantage of functionalized building materials in order to improve the quality of urban surfaces, with particular regard to Cultural Heritage, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of archaeological mortars from Pompeii (Campania, Italy) and identification of construction phases by compositional data analysis
Domenico Miriello,Donatella Barca,Andrea Bloise,Annamaria Ciarallo,Gino Mirocle Crisci,Teresa De Rose,Caterina Gattuso,Flavia Gazineo,Mauro Francesco La Russa +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, compositional characterisation of coccciopesto and natural pozzolanic mortars sampled in the Regio VI area of the archaeological site of Pompeii, with particular reference to the Casa di Pansa in Insula 6 and Casa 17 in Inula 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano-TiO2 coatings for cultural heritage protection: The role of the binder on hydrophobic and self-cleaning efficacy
Mauro Francesco La Russa,Natalia Rovella,Mónica Álvarez de Buergo,Cristina Maria Belfiore,Antonino Pezzino,Gino Mirocle Crisci,Silvestro Antonio Ruffolo +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, nano-TiO2 was combined with three different binders and applied on two stone substrates, namely the Carrara marble and the Noto calcarenite, two lithotypes extensively used in built heritage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the antibacterial activity of doped TiO2 for preventing biodeterioration of cultural heritage building materials
Mauro Francesco La Russa,Andrea Macchia,Silvestro Antonio Ruffolo,Filomena De Leo,Marianna Barberio,Pasquale Barone,Gino Mirocle Crisci,Clara Urzì +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a set of experiments has been carried out testing M-doped TiO2 compounds for their efficiency as photocatalysts, for the chromatic changes induced by their application on stone surfaces and for their antibacterial activity against selected Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis of the black crusts from the Seville Cathedral: a challenge to deepen the understanding of the relationships among microstructure, microchemical features and pollution sources.
Silvestro Antonio Ruffolo,Valeria Comite,Valeria Comite,Mauro Francesco La Russa,Cristina Maria Belfiore,Cristina Maria Belfiore,Donatella Barca,Alessandra Bonazza,Gino Mirocle Crisci,Antonino Pezzino,Cristina Sabbioni +10 more
TL;DR: This battery of tests provided information about the nature and distribution of the mineralogical phases and the elements within the crusts and the crust-substrate interface, contributing to the identification of the major pollution sources responsible for the deterioration of the monument over time.
