Materials for Conservation: Organic Consolidants, Adhesives and Coatings provides an overview of one aspect of materials conservation treatment, particularly the properties of organic consolidants, adhesives, and coatings. The contents of the book are divided into two parts; these parts are background information and survey of polymers. The coverage of the first part includes polymer science and the uses and requirements of applied polymers. The second part covers resins, vinyl, thermoplastics, fillers, and colorants. The text will be most useful to individuals involved in the management and conservation of historic materials, such as museum curators. Materials engineer and polymer chemists will also benefit from the book.
This book identifies novel advanced materials that can be utilized as protective agents for the preservation of stone.

If precast concrete represented an innovative technique for the Italian Air Force Hangar, the Turin Exhibition Hall (Italy, 1947), shown in Figure 4.61b, is an impressive example of the so-called ferro-cement technique.
Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor.
This book fills this important gap in conservation training. It is the first such book written specifically for the conservation community and professionals with little or no background in (mechanical) engineering.
One of the earliest citations is from Otis T. Mason's 1904 U.S. National Museum report. Mason cites basketry as one of the "most fragile and perishable of human industrial products." He notes that insects, rust, heat, cold, ...
