Frederik Vanmeert

  • Research Expertise:My research is focussed on developing and applying X-ray powder diffraction as a mobile chemical imaging tool. I mainly apply this technique for the non-invasive analysis of paintings, art objects and their degradation products. Next to this mobile instrument, I employ synchrotron-based radiation for the investigation of complex art/paint stratigraphies at the submicron scale.
  • Keywords:X-RAY TECHNIQUES, Chemistry (incl. biochemistry)
  • Disciplines:Analytical chemistry
  • Research techniques:- Macroscopic X-ray powder diffraction imaging - Synchrotron-based techniques: (µ)XANES, (µ)XRF, (µ)XRD
  • Users of research expertise:conservators, restorers, art historians, curators and museum staff
