Mención Internacional en el título de doctorThe present PhD research is focused on the preparation, characterization and performance of polymer nanocomposite materials to be used as consolidation and preservation historical wooden artifacts. The main aim of this PhD thesis, is to optimize the use of commercial poly (vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) (PVBVA) and some nanocomposites based on it in order to improve properties for subsequent consolidation of wood. Firstly, two common methods of treatment, brushing and immersion, are considered to investigate their particular effect on the final performance of the polymer chosen for the fir wood (Abies alba) consolidation. Then, airbrushing (AB), sometimes referred as solution blo...
