Abstract

The main aim of this work is to get and modify nanofiber materials for utilization in the process
of preservation of cultural heritage objects. The topic deals with nanofiber materials made from
polymeric substances (polyamide, polyethylene, polyethersulfone, polystyrene), their UV
stabilization using light stabilizers and plasmochemical modification by organosilicon compounds
(siloxane) for gaining greater ultrahydrophobicity. Other characteristics of nanofiber materials
(accelerated ageing, IR spectra, high-performance liquid chromatography) were determined using
physico-chemical methods.
