| Summary: | 博士 === 國立成功大學 === 化學系碩博士班 === 101 === The main project of this study was to establish the non-destructive examination procedures. Therefore, the optical/stereo microscope examination technique can be applied to observe the minor damaged condition of artifacts and cultural relics, and help to define the sources of pollution. The fine cracks of artworks can be taken as the fingerprint, which can be the biographical information. Examining visible fluorescence induced by ultraviolet can obtain immediate surface conditions, damage morphologies, protective layer conditions, restoration traces, and other information of artworks. The observation results help to know the invading by organic substances and microorganisms, and the restoration/retouching or post-intervention areas can also be identified by this technique. Infrared optical examination provides the important information of carbon draft which was existence beneath the surface, some restoration and post-intervention region can also be defined by this technique. The X-ray penetration examination helps to review the existence of other layers beneath the surface. Besides, the pigment-loss area of paintings can also be observed by this technique. Both the IR and X-ray image results can be the reference of biographies establishing and artist-habits researching. After the portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer was published, this technique became the most important non-destructive method of inorganic elements analysis. In addition to determine the element composition of testing materials or pigments, the database of material composition can be established after collecting sufficient and credible data. In this research, the microscopic technique can be used to examine the damage patterns of artworks, and the pollution of insect excrement and exudation were also been observed. Ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence examination can observe the restoration and retouching intervention range, and help to judgment the restoration quality by the masking degree of original artwork. Besides, this technique is a powerful tool to review the post-intervention difference with the original artwork. The ink marks of temple components which were affected by incense in serious can be clearly observed by the infrared examination, and this technique could also help to view the charcoal draft beneath the painting and to assist the relevant researchers to understand whether the particular artist has this habit or not. With the X-rays penetrate examination results, we found some of artists were used to redraw a new work on an old one or modify a finished painting. From the analysis consequence of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, the types of pigments of artwork could be identified, and the results corresponded with the pigments listed in specific artist’s purchase from. Overall, this study established scientific non-destructive examination procedure of artworks base on the above technologies. Although each method has its relative application scopes, these techniques can be connected in series and the informations obtained from this procedure can be the important references of most art-scientific research fields such as conservation science, resume and identification of artworks, habits of artists and so on.
