For this purpose the mineralogical and elemental compositions and the microstructure of lime binder were determined by XRD, SEM-EDS and TGA analyses. The results indicate that the lime used in the brick dome mortars of Ottoman baths was hydraulic. Taking into account the kiln and fuel conditions of the 15th century, the possibility of obtaining hydraulic lime at relatively low temperature was examined. For this purpose limestone containing diatoms was heated at a relatively low temperature (850 °C), then slaked and carbonated. After heating and slaking, calcium silicate giving hydraulicity to the lime was indicated by XRD and SEM-EDS analyses. These results show that the production of hydraulic lime at a relatively low calcination temperature (850 °C) was possible with 15th century kilns.Master Thesis Conservation Problems of Historic Wall Paintings of Taxiarhis Church in Cunda, Ayvalık(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2005) Şerifaki, Kerem; Böke, HasanIn this study, wall paintings of the Taxiarhis Church were investigated with the purpose of conservation. Wall paintings are documented by photographs and drawings. It was aimed to determine the application technique and material properties of the paintings. Wall paintings of the Taxiarhis Church were executed in two different periods. Hence, samples including all periods were collected. Basic physical properties, raw material compositions, chemical and mineralogical compositions and micro structures of the plaster layers were determined. Chemical and mineralogical compositions and the microstructure of the painting layers and weight loss of the binder due to heat were determined. These studies were carried out by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).Wall paintings were executed on fine lime plaster by using vegetable oils (linseed, walnut, poppy seed, etc.) by oil painting technique. Wall paintings of both periods were executed on fine lime plasters. Vegetable oil mixed with ZnO was used in the preparation of binding media. Priming layer over binding layer is composed of Anglesite (PbSO4) and vegetable oil. Pigments that gave the color to the paintings were executed on the priming layer and may be defined as green earth, lead red and iron oxide. Vandalism is an important effect in the deterioration of the paintings. Beside this, crack formation on the paint surfaces and disintegration of the fine plaster and paint layers due to the wetting drying cycles are observed. Deteriorations observed on paintings will be prevented by the consolidation of the structure and the control of the dampness.Keywords: Taxiarhis Church, Wall painting, Linseed oil, Oil painting, Cunda.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20Execution Technique and Pigment Characteristics of Byzantine Wall Paintings of Anaia Church in Western Anatolia(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Demir, Serap; Şerifaki, Kerem; Böke, HasanIn this study, material characteristics of wall paintings executed in 11th Century Byzantine Church located in archaeological site of Anaia (Turkey) were investigated to provide historical information of the painting techniques. For this purpose, physical, chemical and mineralogical compositions of the paintings were determined by X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive spectroscopy and Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis. Analysis results indicated that the paintings were executed using lime-secco technique. In this technique, pigments were mixed with lime and applied on a smooth plaster layer. Pigments used were mainly iron oxides for red, yellow and purple paintings, aluminosilicates such as celadonite for green paintings and lazurite for dark blue paintings.Doctoral Thesis Determination of Byzantine Wall Painting Techniques in Wester Anatolia(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Şerifaki, Kerem; Böke, HasanWall paintings are the reflections of the lifestyle, sense of art and technology of their own period. Conservation of wall paintings should be considered as a multidisciplinary process which is comprised of documentation, materials characterization, evaluation of deterioration problems and conservation decisions. This study aims to determine the material characteristics and execution techniques of historic wall paintings executed in Byzantine era in western Anatolia. Within this scope, the stratigraphy, mineralogical and chemical composition of the plaster layers; the execution technique, stratigraphy, mineralogical and chemical compositions of paint layers of wall paintings from the substructure of Anaia Church, Başpınar Church and Aigai have been determined by Polarized Light Microscope (PLM), Scanning Electron Microscope coupled with XRay Energy Dispersive System (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analyses. Through the research, pure lime and aggregates in the plasters of Aigai, magnesium rich lime and straw in the plasters of Anaia and Başpınar have been determined. Execution technique used in wall paintings are determined as fresco in Aigai and as secco in Anaia. In Başpınar church painting was started as fresco but completed as secco. Pigments used in paintings are mainly iron oxides for red and yellow, green earth in celadonite and glauconite forms for green, lapis lazuli and Egyptian blue for blue, calcite and kaolin for white and carbon black for grey and black colors. Results of the experimental studies are also evaluated for dating the wall paintings. As a result, studied wall paintings were classified as pre-iconoclastic and post- iconoclastic. Painting technique, pigments and plaster characteristics of wall paintings in western Anatolia in Byzantine period were determined to be similar with the ones in İstanbul, Cappadocia, Balkans, Crete, and Cyprus. Results of this study will guide the conservation efforts of the wall paintings.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 42Characterization of Materials Used in the Execution of Historic Oil Paintings by Xrd, Sem-Eds, Tga and Libs Analysis(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Şerifaki, Kerem; Böke, Hasan; Yalçın, Şerife; İpekoğlu, BaşakIn this study, material characteristics of historic oil paintings in a 19th century church in Ayvali{dotless}k/Turkey were investigated to propose the treatments to be used in their conservation and protection. For this purpose, physical, chemical and mineralogical compositions and the microstructure of the paintings were determined by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope, Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer, Differential Scanning Calorimeter, Infrared Spectroscopy and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy. Analysis results showed that the paintings were composed of very thin binding and white priming layers on which the pigments were applied. Binding layers were composed of polymerized vegetable oil with Zinc Oxide. Priming layers were composed of anglesite mineral in polymerized vegetable oil. Pigments used in paintings were mainly green earth, red chrome and iron oxide.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Microstructural Characteristics of Mortars Prepared by Hot Lime Mix(Union of Croatian Civil Engineers and Technicians, 2020) Şerifaki, Kerem; Uğurlu Sağın, Elif; Böke, HasanThe effect of lime characteristics and hot lime mix method on hydraulic, microstructural and mechanical properties of mortars is determined by producing mortars from quicklimes of two different marbles and two limestones. Results of SEM-EDS, XRD and TGA analyses reveal that the porous microstructure of mortars and spongy texture of calcite crystals are the indicators of the hot lime mix method. This study shows that characteristics of limestones used for the production of limes, as well as the preparation method, directly affect hydraulic, mechanical and microstructural properties of mortars.Article Byzantine Wall Paintings in the Archaeological Sites of Aigai, Olympos, and Anaia (Turkey): Techniques and Material Characteristics(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Şerifaki, K.; Böke, H.The aim of this study is to determine the material characteristics of the paint layers and techniques of paintings executed in Late Roman and Byzantine churches located in the archaeological sites of Aigai, Olympos, and Anaia (Turkey) in order to select compatible materials prior to conservation treatments of the paintings and to establish the technical aspects of the paintings in relation to coeval Western examples. In this context, the execution technique, microchemical characteristics, stratigraphy of paintings, and mineralogical and chemical composition of the pigments were determined by polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy coupled with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The analysis results indicated that wall paintings were executed by fresco, secco or fresco-secco techniques on a thin plaster layer that is composed of pure lime, straw, fine marble, brick, and sand aggregates. The ground layers of the paintings are composed of kaolin, calcite, and carbon black. The color compositions of the paintings were obtained by applying successive layers of paint on the ground layers. The pigments used in the paintings are mainly iron oxides for the red and yellow, green earth in celadonite and glauconite forms for greens, and lapis lazuli and Egyptian blue for blues. The present study demonstrates that the techniques and materials employed in the execution of wall paintings in Byzantine churches in Western Anatolia are analogous to those utilized in the Balkans, Crete, and Cyprus, with the exception of the presence of a clay-based ground. © The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works 2025.Article İzmir’de Bir Osmanlı Dönemi Konağının Tavan ve Duvar Resimlerinin Yapım Tekniği ve Malzeme Özellikleri(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2021) Şerifaki, Kerem; İpekoğlu, BaşakKültür varlıklarımızın en hassas bileşenlerinden olan duvar resimlerinin korunmasında, resimlerin özgün malzeme özellikleri ve yapım tekniğinin belirlenmesi önemli aşamalardan biridir. Bu çalışma kapsamında İzmir Bayraklı’da yer alan Yahya Hayati Paşa Konağı’nın duvar ve tavan resimlerinin yapım tekniği ve malzeme özellikleri 2010 yılında yapıya ağır hasar veren yangın öncesinde alınan örnekler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen analizler ile belirlenmiştir. Duvar resimlerinin sıva ve astar tabakalarının, boyayı oluşturan bağlayıcı malzeme ile pigmentlerin mikro-yapısal özellikleri, mineralojik ve kimyasal kompozisyonları; optik mikroskop, kızılötesi spektroskopisi, X ışınları kırınım cihazı (XRD) ve EDS üniteli taramalı elektron mikroskobu kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma, resimlerin kireç sıva üzerinde yer alan organik bağlayıcı ve çeşitli beyaz pigmentlerden oluşan hazırlık tabakaları üzerinde yağlı boya tekniği ile uygulandığını göstermiştir. Resimlerin yapımında bitkisel yağın rengini beyazlatmak amacıyla çinko oksit (ZnO), kurşun beyazı $(PbCO_3)$ ve baryum beyazı $(BaSO_4)$ kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Resimlerin yapımında kırmızı için vermiyon (HgS), mavi için ultramarin $(N_{a6-10}Al_6Si_6O_{24}S_{2-4})$, yeşil için zümrüt yeşili $(3Cu(AsO_2)_2.Cu(CH_3COO)_2)$ ve kahverengi için kırmızı okra $(Fe2O_3$, kil mineralleri) kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu ana pigmentler dışında, dolgu malzemesi olarak kullanılan baryum beyazı (BaSO4) ve kurşun kırmızısı pigmentinin $(Pb_3O_4)$bozulma ürünlerinden biri olan anglezit (PbSO4) tespit edilmiştir.

Throughout the study, mineralogical and chemical composition of the plaster layers were determined with a scanning electron microscope coupled with an X-ray energy dispersive system (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD). Reflected light microscopy (RLM) and SEM studies conducted on polished cross-sections of samples revealed the stratigraphy and microstructural properties of the plaster layers of the Anaia Church (4th–12th centuries), Baºpýnar Church (13th century) in Olympos and a Byzantine settling and the Chapel (13th century) in Aigai. Throughout the research, pure lime and aggregates in the plasters of Aigai, as well as magnesium-rich lime and straw in the plasters of Anaia and Baºpýnar were determined. The plasters from the Anaia and Baºpýnar Churches exhibit characteristics similar to the samples from the post-iconoclastic period due to a similar raw-material use. In the samples from Aigai, plastering techniques such as marmorino, intonachino and cocciopesto, indicating earlier periods, were observed. As a result of this study, it was concluded that the number and characteristics of the plaster layers from the paintings had been applied intentionally in accordance with the technique of the painting. Plaster characteristics of the wall paintings in western Anatolia from the Byzantine period were found to be similar to the ones in Ýstanbul, the Balkans, Crete and Cyprus. The results of this study will guide the conservation efforts of the wall paintings.
