Many important artworks produced using synthetic dispersion paints in the 20th century were treated with a layer of varnish after completion as protection against damage. However, thisposes an issue to conservators as these varnishes degrade, for example by oxidation and they become cloudy or yellowed as described in research presented by Theodorakopoulos,2011. This proposal provides a methodology for utilising surface attached gels to remove thin layers of synthetic varnish. It must be considered how to remove varnish whilst protectingthe underlying painting, often of similar chemical composition to the varnish, from chemical or mechanical damage (Keefe et al, 2011).Thin layers of surface attached gels pose a unique solution to this issue providing an alternative physical application of cleaning solution to submersion or application using swabs which can cause damage (Ormsby et al 2003). Furthermore, the unique chemistry of the polymer matrix aids in this purpose (Baglioni, 2013). This solution provides a sensitive and effective technique that is transferable to other industries, such as medicine or electronicengineering.

在世纪，许多使用合成分散涂料制作的重要艺术品在完成后都经过一层清漆处理，以防止损坏。然而，这给保护人员带来了一个问题，因为这些清漆会降解，例如通过氧化，它们会变得浑浊或变黄，如Theodorakopoulos，2011年提出的研究所述。该提议提供了一种利用表面附着的凝胶来去除合成清漆薄层的方法。必须考虑如何去除清漆，同时保护底层油漆（通常与清漆具有相似的化学成分）免受化学或机械损伤（Keefe等人，2011）。表面附着的薄层凝胶为这个问题提供了一种独特的解决方案，提供了一种替代物理应用的清洁溶液，以浸没或使用可能导致损坏的棉签应用（Ormsby等人，2003）。此外，聚合物基质的独特化学性质有助于实现这一目的（Baglioni，2013）。这种解决方案提供了一种灵敏而有效的技术，可转移到其他行业，如医药或电子工程。
