title: Infrared spectroscopic and chemometric approach for identifying binding medium in Sukias mansion's wall paintings.
abstract: This paper addresses the application of infrared spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics to identify wall painting's binding medium while employing pattern recognition techniques to process FTIR data-set of complex samples. In this regard, based on the historical documents and previous researches, firstly 56 standard samples were prepared to represent strata of Persian wall paintings in the Safavid period in addition to real historic samples from the case study; Sukias mansion. Then, each sample was analysed by the means of FTIR and chemometrics. Finally, SIMCA was applied to the whole region of studied IR spectra which predicted egg yolk as the binding medium of Sukias mansion samples.
