• Chemical analysis, characterization and ageing studies of synthetic materials used in contemporary art and in conservation.
• Development of analytical procedures for the characterization of modern organic materials (synthetic polymers, modern oils, alkyd resins, etc.) in artistic objects based on sample preparation for liquid and gas chromatography interfaced with mass spectrometry.
• Development of analytical procedures and protocol for a reliable identification and localization of proteins in polychrome art and archaeological samples.
• Development of analytical procedures for the characterization of organic materials in archaeological and artistic objects based on sample preparation for GC/MS, DE-MS, Py-GC/MS, HPLC-DAD/MS and on quantitative analysis and data treatment.
