My research activity aims at the implementation and validation of new non-destructive Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) protocols for investigating archaeological and historical wood remains and consolidating materials. For this purpose, I’m using both high-field NMR and low-field portable NMR spectrometers. Specifically, I’m working with high-field spectrometers in order to carry on two main research lines. The first is based on the improvement of the in plane resolution of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to obtain a complete virtual histology of wood. The second research line exploits diffusion-NMR principles to extract morphological and topological information from wood microstructure, such as pores diameter, cell wall permeability, pores interconnection, tortuosity. However, to overcome sample size limitations imposed by the use of non-portable high-field instruments, the same protocol is going to be translated on portable low-field spectrometer in order to obtain, in a completely non-destructive way from any size samples, the same information together with the characterization of the water compartmentalization by the measurement of relaxation parameters.
