Workplan: The work plan encompasses activities from two distinct tasks:

Task 4: Susceptibility to Degradation of Optimized Formulations: The workplan involves studying the mineralogical and chemical changes that occur due to artificial aging in the substrates and multi-action products. Analytical techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) will be employed to understand these alterations.

Task 5: Initial Efficacy and Compatibility of Multi-Action Product on Historic Porous Stone Materials: The activity focuses on the mineralogical and chemical characterization of historic movable substrates made of porous stones, both before and after the application of the multi-action product. The aim is to characterize the materials and assess the chemical compatibility of the product on historic materials.

Duration: The research fellowship will have the duration of 5 months, renewable. It’s expected to begin in May 2024. The research fellowship can be renewed up to the maximum of 12 Months, including the duration of the initial contract.
