Powdered cellulose microblasting: a useful technique for dry‑cleaning the reverse side of canvas paintings

<p>This study evaluates the effectiveness of microblasting with powdered cellulose for the dry-cleaning of canvases. Various surface cleaning tests were conducted by microblasting on the reverse of canvas paintings and the results were compared to those obtained with traditional dry-cleaning t...
