“…Based on similar colloidal chemistry, other current and future perspectives involve the use of advanced smart materials for the preservation of concrete historical buildings, a significant issue in modern/contemporary heritage conservation. 76 Colloidal compounds are also being developed for the consolidation of canvas paintings, where the need is to overcome the limitations of synthetic adhesives or natural glues that can alter the optical properties of painted layers or develop detrimental chemicals. 53 In particular, starch nanoparticles, 77 fibroin-nanocellulose hybrids, 78,79 or keratin mixed with halloysite nanotubes 80 have been recently proved to be promising consolidants or adhesives for paints and textiles, showing the great potential of biopolymers in the conservation of cultural heritage.…”

“…In addition to these significant advances, it must be noticed that nanoparticles of Ca(OH) 2 have also been combined with either alkoxysilane or silica nanoparticles to yield composites that are active in the consolidation or stone or earthen materials. , For instance, the composite with silica nanoparticles forms calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) in situ in the earthen bricks, providing resistance to abrasion and wet–dry cycles, opening new perspectives in the preservation of earthen construction materials with potential impact both on the preservation of historical sites and the development of sustainable architecture in growing economies.

Cultural heritage is a crucial resource to increase our society's resilience. However, degradation processes, enhanced by environmental and anthropic risks, inevitably affect works of art, hindering their accessibility and socioeconomic value. In response, interfacial and colloidal chemistry has proposed valuable solutions over the past decades, overcoming the limitations of traditional restoration materials and granting cost-and time-effective remedial conservation of the endangered artifacts. Ranging from inorganic nanoparticles to hybrid composites and soft condensed matter (gels, microemulsions), a wide palette of colloidal systems has been made available to conservators worldwide, targeting the consolidation, cleaning, and protection of works of art. The effectiveness and versatility of the proposed solutions allow the safe and effective treatment of masterpieces belonging to different cultural and artistic productions, spanning from classic ages to the Renaissance and modern/contemporary art. Despite these advancements, the formulation of materials for the preservation of cultural heritage is still an open, exciting field, where recent requirements include coping with the imperatives of the Green Deal to foster the production of sustainable, low-toxicity, and environmentally friendly systems. This review gives a critical overview starting from pioneering works up to the latest advancements in colloidal systems for art conservation, a challenging topic where effective solutions can be transversal to multiple sectors even beyond cultural heritage preservation, from the pharmaceutical and food industry, to cosmetics, tissue engineering, and detergency.

“…[15,16] Many smart building materials have been developed with different functions, such as self-cleaning building envelopes, and self-repairing concrete. [17][18][19][20][21][22] Feng group proposed a strategy of rapid self-sealing concrete techniques by in-situ calcium alginate crosslinking within cracks, which was accomplished by encapsulating sodium alginate in polyethylene glycol granules coated with epoxy resin and calcium sulphoaluminate cement as protective shells. [23] However, the development of modern society put forward a higher demand for smart building materials, such as sustainability, versatility, novelty, and economy.…”

Smart materials and devices play an increasingly important role in improving modern life due to their richer functions, enhanced controllability, and improved biocompatibility. Here, calcium silicate hydration (C‐S‐H) was integrated with layered [Co(NCS)2(pyrazine)2]n metal‐organic frameworks (Co‐MOF) and polymeric skeleton to fabricate the smart building material (M‐C‐S‐H). C‐S‐H was anchored on the polymeric skeleton to reinforce the network structure for enhanced mechanical strength and toughness. Simultaneously, the highly porous skeleton structure enabled the uniform distribution of layered Co‐MOF, which could maintain its molecular form to endow the M‐C‐S‐H with the photoresponsive color‐switching performance. The M‐C‐S‐H as a smart building material exhibited the color change between light blue and black blue upon NIR illumination on/off within a wide temperature range to achieve personalized wall and building decoration. Taking advantage of the low cost, rapid response, outstanding reversibility, and good color stability, M‐C‐S‐H could provide lively, dynamic, changeable decorating effects for walls and buildings.This article is protected by copyright.
