Coatings, Volume 16, Issue 9 has been released! 🔗 Freely access 100+ research articles: https://brnw.ch/21x60x4 📝Cover title: Tin Amalgam Degradation and Preservation of Qing Dynasty Reverse Glass Paintings ✏️ Authored by Luxi Li et al., from National Museum of China 📌 Cover story: A steamship crosses the sea, evoking the maritime trade networks through which Qing Dynasty reverse glass paintings travelled between China and the West. An analysis of two such paintings reveals that their tin amalgam coatings have corroded along two distinct pathways. One is conventional oxidation, yielding tin oxides. The other, identified here for the first time in this artifact class, is chloride-driven corrosion producing abhurite and hydroromarchite, suggestive of salt-laden atmospheres. Whether these pathways reflect different storage histories remains open; their coexistence, however, underscores the complexity of degradation and invites a rethinking of preventive conservation for these fragile cultural treasures. 💭 #MDPI #Coatings #OpenAccess
