Research on the Chemical and Colour Changes of Historically Important Light-Sensitive Dyestuffs during Accelerated Light Ageing with Filtered Visible Light (2016)
Preprint / Working Paper
Quye, A., Han, J., & Innes, M. Research on the Chemical and Colour Changes of Historically Important Light-Sensitive Dyestuffs during Accelerated Light Ageing with Filtered Visible Light

Lighting is a key factor for the display and preservation of cultural heritage materials. This research pioneers the chemical investigation of colourants aged by visible light of different wavelengths. Silk samples dyed by historically important colo...

The chemical effect of filtered visible light on light-sensitive dyes (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Quye, A., Han, J., & Innes, M. (2016, October). The chemical effect of filtered visible light on light-sensitive dyes. Poster presented at Dyes in History and Archaeology 35 (DHA35)

Despite best efforts to remove damaging UV and short wavelength light from museum displays, dyes on historical textiles can still fade or change colour if visible light causes chromophoric compounds to form or degrade. For known light-sensitive dyes,... Read More about The chemical effect of filtered visible light on light-sensitive dyes.
