(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

A consortium of researchers from the worlds of museum, science and industry have developed a method to establish the extent to which titanium white - an important white pigment - is causing modern paintings to age. The method can detect aging early in the process, meaning that timely action can be taken to protect major paintings. The results of the research have been accepted by the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
