摘要

Egypt has the largest fortune of cultural heritage materials of different kinds which record the history of the Egyptian civilization. These materials are subjected to different deterioration factors causing several damages to the inner matrix as well as disfiguring the appearance of these materials. The present study aims to prepare and evaluate CaCO3-nanoparticles to consolidate damaged Coptic plasters collected from the monastery of Saint Simeon (Deir Anba Hatre), Aswan, Upper Egypt. The evaluation of the consolidation process was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in addition to measuring the physical and mechanical properties of the samples. The obtained results showed that the consolidation with CaCO3-nanoparticles was beneficial in improving the physical and mechanical properties of the treated samples.
