However, over time, many works of art and cultural heritage face multiple threats such as natural aging, environmental pollution, and microbial erosion. Although traditional protection methods can delay these processes to a certain extent, they often seem unscrupulous when facing complex environmental changes and new pollutants. In recent years, with the advancement of chemical materials science, the application of new materials in cultural heritage protection has gradually attracted attention. Among them, DMDEE (dimorpholine diethyl ether) is a multifunctional chemical additive. Due to its unique chemical properties and wide application potential, it has gradually emerged in the field of preservation of art works. <\/p>\n<p>This article will discuss in detail the basic properties, mechanism of action, specific application cases in the preservation of art works, comparison with traditional protection methods, future development trends, etc., aiming to provide new ideas and technical support for the protection of cultural heritage. <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chapter 1: The basic properties and mechanism of DMDEE<\/h2>\n<h3>1.1 Chemical structure and characteristics of DMDEE<\/h3>\n<p>DMDEE (dimorpholine diethyl ether) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H24N2O2.
