Hello colleagues interested in both preservation science and polymers! The American Chemical Society (ACS) has just opened up abstract submissions for the upcoming national ACS meeting in Boston (Aug. 13-23), and this year will include a dedicated session on Polymers in Cultural Heritage. The full Polymer Division program, including a link to submit abstracts, can be found here: https://callforpapers.acs.org/boston2018/POLY
Talks are most welcome on research ranging from the preservation science of polymeric objects (paper, film, paints, models) to polymeric conservation tools (repair adhesives, consolidants, gloves). This session will be a great chance to cross-pollinate ideas from the overlap of cultural heritage and preservation science with the larger polymer science field. Abstract submission deadline is Monday March 26. Andrew R. Davis, Ph.D. Chemist, Preservation Research & Testing Division Library of Congress ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to [email protected] Searchable archives: http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/
