← HistoryWhich failure in pietra dura escalates by hygrothermal cycling?
A)Adhesive debonding at thermal expansion✓
B)Aggregate flaking near binder matrix
C)Glass transition within binding medium
D)Salt efflorescence causes binder erosion
💡 Explanation
Adhesive debonding leads to detachment because mismatched thermal expansion coefficients stress the organic glues used. Therefore, constant temperature change induces more cracking; rather than binder matrix failure resulting from erosion processes alone.
