Cyclododecane as a reversible contrast enhancer for the terahertz imaging of frescos

Cyclododecane (CDD) is a wax-like hexane used as a totally reversible, volatile binding medium for many cultural heritage applications. We investigate CDD using THz-TDS and DFTS, and consider its potential as a contrast enhancing agent for multilayer fresco paintings.
