The definitive introduction to the properties of materials used in conservation. It explains clearly the potentials and pitfalls of any proposed technique, providing a convenient summary of necessary information.The continual struggle of conservators to ameliorate the deterioration of objects has led to increasing use of synthetic polymers. These materials are part of the sophisticated technology that has been developed to augment and often replace traditional materials and methods. Conservators therefore have a wider range of techniques available. However, they must be able to appreciate the potentials and pitfalls of any proposed technique. This book provides, in a convenient form, a summary of necessary information. The first section explains physical and chemical properties which are important in the conservation process, i.e. application, ageing, reversal. The topics covered include molecular weight, glass transition temperature, solubility and solvents, polymerisation and degradation reactions.… Read More

This book is concerned with the principles methods and applications of the trichromatic system of colour measurement. The system which is fundamental to all color imagery is now a vast industrial importance paint pigments food stuffs cosmetics signal glasses these are but a few of the products for which manufacturers must ensure consistent color nowadays too a great deal of attention is being devoted to three color processes in photography and television it will be hard to delimit the readers who will find professor Wright's authoritative book invaluable

A chapter at the beginning of the book summarizes current ideas about the nature of matter and the structure of the atom before embarking upon the succession of chapters setting forth chronologically the accumulation of the experimental evidence and the stages in the development of these ideas. The author has continued to include accounts of the chemistry of important industrial processes as it is important that the natural inquisiveness of many to know how it is done should be fostered like. the uses to which so many of the materials concerned are put in everyday life.

The material in this booklet is a reprint of Chapter 3 of Protective and Decorative Coatings volume 2 edited by Joseph Mattiello and published by John Wiley and Sons. It describes the identification of azo dyes using a microscope to examine crystal shapes and morphologies. It contains 36 black and white micrographs showing reaction products
