Conventional consolidants are organic polymers or silica gels, which are simple materials that do not permit matching of a range of properties of the stone.<br /><br />Later improvement of the suspension procedure resulted in consolidants that are much more stable and fluid. Stone treated with the particle-modified consolidant (PMC) increases dramatically in stiffness and strength. Most impressively in a sodium sulfate test, the PMC provided better protection than a commercial silicate consolidant.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://ncptt.nps.gov/improved-sol-gel-consolidants-for-stone-2002-24/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Deadline: Call for Presentations for the Nationwide Cemetery Preservation Summit</title><link>http://ncptt.nps.gov/call-for-presentations/</link> <comments>http://ncptt.nps.gov/call-for-presentations/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:54:31 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jason Church</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cemetery Conservation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Materials Conservation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Training]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cemeteries]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cemetery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cemetery Preservation Summit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cleaning]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Conservation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[graveyards]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hands-on]]></category> <category><![CDATA[headstones]]></category> <category><![CDATA[historic vegetation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Monument]]></category> <category><![CDATA[monuments]]></category> <category><![CDATA[National Cemetery Administration]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Preservation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[unmarked graves]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Workshop]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2789</guid> <description><![CDATA[NCPTT is soliciting oral and poster presentations that focus on research and innovation in cemetery conservation and preservation for the NCPTT’s Nationwide Cemetery Preservation Summit to be held in Nashville, Tenn., October 19-21, 2009.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://ncptt.nps.gov/call-for-presentations/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Building Dry Stone Retaining Walls (2002-06)</title><link>http://ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/</link> <comments>http://ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:45:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>NCPTT</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Architecture & Engineering]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Grants]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Product Catalog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Training]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Videos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2002-06]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Building]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PTT Grant]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Retaining Walls]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=902</guid> <description><![CDATA[This video shows how to build small drystone retaining walls from beginning to end;

on stones is due to “acid rain” since its action is not limited to one mechanism.
