Understanding how Plastics Age in Museum Collections
Presented by:
Clara Deck, Senior Conservator
The Henry Ford, Dearborn, MI
This is the Age of Plastics and museums have been collecting modern materials for a long time. It is a Museum Conservator’s job to understand material deterioration and what can be done to preserve objects. Conservators rely on the long-term stability of many polymers for storage containers and adhesives. But what about “malignant plastics”? Learn about a few inherently unstable historical polymers that are causing nightmares for museums with modern collections.
