| Abstract: | Glycerol methacrylate and hydroxyethyl methacrylate in combination with glycerol dimethacrylate as crosslinker were applied with electron beam irradiation to consolidate the color painting of the terracotta army of the first Chinese Emperor Qin Shihuangdi. The described mixture allowed reducing the necessary irradiation dose for consolidation to 40 kGy. The formation of glossy spots could be suppressed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
