Materials in Conservation is the definitive introduction to the properties of materials used in conservation. There are a wide range of techniques that can be employed to combat the deterioration of objects, and this book will enable the modern professional conservator (of which there are 10-15,000) to appreciate the potentials and pitfalls of any proposed technique. In this second edition, this classic text is revised and updated to include modern materials such as cyclododecane, and current ideas on adhesion, consolidation and reversibility, making Materials in Conservation the definitive…mehr
