Organogels: New cleaning agent for artworks investigated with neutrons at the FRM II. The SANS-1 instrument reveals the nanostructure of the polymers. The restoration of artworks often involves solvents which have toxic properties. Now researchers have succeeded for the first time in creating a non-toxic and sustainable cleaning agent for paintings. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) investigated the structure of the agent, referred to as an organogel. Artistically valuable paintings are irreplaceable, unique works which should be preserved for future generations. However, with the passing of the years they tend to become dull.
