ATR-FT-IR spectral collection of conservation materials in the extended region of 4000-80 cm.

In this paper, a spectral collection of over 150 ATR-FT-IR spectra of materials related to cultural heritage and conservation science has been presented that have been measured in the extended region of 4000-80 cm (mid-IR and far-IR region). The applicability of the spectra and, in particular, the extended spectral range, for investigation of art-related materials is demonstrated on a case study. This collection of ATRFT-IR reference spectra is freely available online () and is meant to be a useful tool for researchers in the field of conservation and materials science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
