Damage and fracture of archaeological potteries not only jeopardize the long-term preservation but also hinder their exhibition. To repair these pottery sherds effectively, this study introduces a novel inorganic phosphate-based adhesive and evaluates its effectiveness through a series of experiments. To determine the optimal base adhesive, the paper investigates the influence of varying weight ratios of the H2O–H3PO4 system and the Al(OH)3–H3PO4 system on properties including tensile lap-shear strength, microstructure, high-temperature resistance and phase composition. However, the original black color of the traditional CuO–phosphate adhesive limits its application. The innovation of this study lies in the addition of nano-TiO2 to the adhesive, which not only improves the bonding strength but also adjusts the color of the adhesive. This study has defined the optimal formulation (i.e., base adhesive = m[Al(OH)3]:m[H3PO4] = 7:100, filler = 10wt% nano-TiO2), and the final product shows no residual acid in adhesives. Additionally, the fracture surfaces are successfully bonded with a high strength of 3.56 MPa. Various ageing tests including dry-thermal ageing, hygrothermal ageing and UV irradiation ageing are conducted to assess the ageing resistance of the inorganic phosphate-based adhesive. The results indicate strong tolerance of adhesive to high temperature and high humidity environment. Preliminary applications in archaeological pottery restoration suggest that the inorganic phosphate-based adhesive offers considerable promise for repairing shattered pottery. Graphical Abstract

The breakage and fracture of archaeological potteries not only make them in a dangerous state for a long time but also are not conducive to exhibition and utilization. To repair these fragmentized potteries, it is imperative to synthesize an adhesive that can provide cohesion by bonding the broken surface. In the past decades, organic polymer materials, such as epoxy resin and acrylic resin, have often been used to repair pottery. However, it has been reported that using organic bonding materials for pottery conservation comes with various adverse effects, such as short lifetime, poor compatibility and preservation damage in recent years. With the introduction of material compatibility, the idea of using inorganic materials to protect inorganic cultural relics has been gradually accepted. This study introduces a novel inorganic adhesive, which can achieve excellent bonding performance by using the Al(OH)3–H3PO4 system as base adhesive, CuO as curing agent and nano-TiO2 as filler. To select the optimal base adhesive, the paper investigates the influence of varying weight ratios of H2O–H3PO4 system and Al(OH)3–H3PO4 system on properties such as tensile lap-shear strength, microstructure, high-temperature resistance and phase composition. Moreover, several formulations have been prepared and tested in laboratory to investigate the impact of filler addition on color, bonding performance and surface microstructure. Studies have defined the optimal formulation, and the inorganic phosphate-based adhesive (IPA) has been preliminarily applied to the fractured archaeological pottery. The obtained results demonstrate that the IPA is a promising bonding material and shows great potential in fractured pottery restoration.

This paper presents research into the feasibility of using stone sawing sludge-based Alkali Activated Materials (AAMs) for conservation of Cultural Heritage. Sawing sludges are a stone processing waste product resulting from the mixing of rock powder with the water used to cool down the cutting blades. The chemical composition of the sawing sludges, when aluminosilicatic, is suitable for acting as a precursor to produce AAMs. AAMs are known for their low environmental impact and versatility since their existence is drawn from recycling waste materials. One of their possible applications is in the conservation of Cultural Heritage objects. This work presents a preliminary investigation into three sawing sludge-based AAMs with different mineralogical compositions and contributes to formulating guidelines for applying them as fillers on modern and archaeological ceramic pottery based on the evaluation of their workability, appearance and physical properties over time from the moment of application and up to 30 days. Dynamic Vapor Sorption and X-Ray Diffraction results provided an overview of the structural and mineralogical changes under high RH conditions, where the tested AAMs showed a type II isotherm curve, as expected for concrete-like materials, as well as disappearance of thermonatrite after one isothermal cycle. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity test demonstrated the general homogeneity of the AAMs despite the lower velocity exhibited by one of the formulations, probably due to its internal pore distribution and possible presence of microstratification. The Oddy tests, application tests and colourimetric measurements evidenced the advantages and weaknesses of the AAMs, with overall encouraging results ensuing investment in further in-depth studies of these innovative conservation materials in view of their future use in the field of conservation of Cultural Heritage as a result of a circular economy model.
