Mineral spirits-based microemulsions: a novel cleaning system for painted surfaces
This paper reports further developments emerging from a collaboration between The Dow Chemical Company, Tate, and the Getty Conservation Institute which seeks to explore improved cleaning systems for unvarnished modern painted surfaces. Specifically, the present study describes three novel microemulsion systems based on water and mineral spirits, each formulated with...Ormsby, Bronwyn ; Keefe, Melinda ; Phenix, Alan ; Von Aderkas, Eleanor ; Learner, Tom …

A preliminary evaluation of the surfaces of acrylic emulsion paint films and the effects of wet-cleaning treatment by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
The surfaces of acrylic emulsion (dispersion) paint films were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), with supporting chemical information provided via infrared spectroscopy. The morphological and chemical features of the surfaces of a series of recently cast reference paint films were explored, including characterization of changes induced by exposure to...Kampasakali, Elli ; Ormsby, Bronwyn ; Cosentino, Antonino ; Miliani, Costanza ; Learner, Tom
