两千年前的金属镀层工艺至今仍难超越.docVIP

Artists and?craftsmen（工匠）?more than 2,000 years ago developed thin-film coating technology?unrivaled（无比的）?even by todays standards for producing DVDs, solar cells, electronic devices and other products. Understanding these sophisticated metal-plating techniques from ancient times, described in the ACS journal Accounts of Chemical Research, could help preserve priceless artistic and other treasures from the past. Gabriel Maria Ingo and colleagues point out that scientists have made good progress in understanding the chemistry of many ancient artistic and other artifacts -- crucial to preserve them for future generations. Big gaps in knowledge remained, however, about how?gilders（镀金工人）?in the Dark Ages and other periods applied such?lustrous（光辉的）, impressively uniform films of gold or silver to intricate objects. Ingos team set out to apply the newest analytical techniques to uncover the ancients artistic secrets. ? They discovered that gold- and silversmiths 2,000 years ago developed a variety of techniques, including using mercury like a glue to apply thin films of metals to statues and other objects. Sometimes, the technology was used to apply real gold and silver. It also was used fraudulently, to make cheap metal statues that look like solid gold or silver. The scientists say that their findings confirm the high level of competence reached by the artists and craftsmen of these ancient periods who produced objects of an artistic quality that could not be bettered in ancient times and has not yet been reached in modern ones. 艺术家和工匠（工匠）2000余年前开发薄膜涂层技术无与伦比（无比的），即使以今天的标准生产的DVD，太阳能电池，电子设备等产品。从远古时代，化学研究在ACS的期刊账户，了解这些复杂的金属电镀技术，可以帮助保护无价的艺术和其他从过去的珍品。加布里埃尔玛丽亚英戈和他的同事指出，科学家已经取得了良好的进展，了解许多古老的艺术和其他文物的化学成分 - 为子孙后代保留它们的关键。大知识方面的差距依然存在，不过，镀金工人在黑暗的中世纪和其他期间gilders如何应用这种光泽（光辉的），金色或银色的到复杂的对象赫然均匀的薄膜。 Ingo的团队载应用最新的分析技术，发现古人的艺术秘密。 ? 他们发现，金银匠在2000年前开发出了多种技术，包括使用汞像胶水适用于薄膜金属雕像和其他物体。有时，该技术被用来申请真正的黄金和白银。它也被用于欺诈，使廉价的金属佛像，看起来像固体黄金或白银。科学家说，他们的研究结果证实“这些古老的时期，生成的对象的艺术质量不能做得更好在远古时代，尚未达到现代的艺术家和工匠的能
