Catherine Dejoie et al., « Revisiting Maya Blue and Designing Hybrid Pigments by Archaeomimetism », HAL-SHS : archéologie, ID : 10670/1.p74agw
Maya Blue is actually one of the best known examples of an organic-inorganic hybrid material. Yet despite 50 years of sustained interest, its microscopic structure and its relation to durability remain open questions. We address the issue by archaeomimetism: engineering an archaeoinspired pigment, satisfactorily reproducing the colour and chemical stability of Maya Blue. By comparing and contrasting ancient pigment and the new analogue, we deduce a new explanation for this durability.
