Summary
The continual struggle of conservators to ameliorate the deterioration of objects usually means adding other materials, both traditional and synthetic. These materials and methods are part of the sophisticated technology that has been developed to preserve, stabilise, and restore this heritage. However, conservators must have the knowledge to appreciate the potentials and pitfalls of any proposed technique, old or new. This is the standard text for students and practitioners alike, providing in convenient form an up to date summary of necessary information. This second edition has been re-written to incorporate the explosion of scientific understanding of polymers, particularly natural products, adding these insights to the expanding expertise and observations of conservators.
