Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to submit your most recent research for this stimulating Special Issue related to the application of electromagnetics techniques in conservation of cultural heritage, ranging from radio frequency (RF) to infrared red (IR), through the microwave. A next Special Issue will be focused on the range form IR to gamma-rays. The demand for “The Application of Electromagnetics in Cultural Heritage Conservation. Part 1” Special Issue raised from researchers’ community, as more and more papers dealing with these topics were submitted in the last years, making it necessary an update review.
This special issue belongs to the section "Sustainability of Culture and Heritage" Sustainability Journal and it provides a concise compilation of approved key information on methods of research, general principles, and functional relationships in selected fields of science and technology. The aim of this issue is to focus on non-invasive, or micro-destructive, techniques as well as innovative approaches to study cultural heritage assets (monuments, historical buildings, wall paintings, wood and wooden materials, etc.). The goal is to give a review of different electromagnetics techniques (RF, microwave and IR techniques) and methods encouraging multidisciplinary approaches in order to assists conservator managers and restorers to better deal their activity for monitoring and scheduled maintenance. The Special Issue will be divided in three different sections: diagnostics; monitoring and restoration. The estimated publication date is the end of March 2019.
I will be very glad if you can participate with one or more chapters. If you are interested, please reply to this email, submitting:
- tentative title of your contribution(s);
- tentative list of author(s) and email address (at least of the corresponding author);
- bullets point or very short description of your contribution(s).
These are just some of the topics that this Special Issue will try to address, but clearly we aware that the theme for this Special Issue opens multi scale and open ended questions. I look forward to hearing from you and I really hope you can take part in this interesting project. Please feel free to contact me for any further clarification you may need and extend this invitation to any potentially interested colleagues.
