Hello colleagues interested in both preservation science and polymers!
Abstract submissions are closing in one week for a technical session Polymers in Culture Heritage at the upcoming national American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in Boston (Aug. 13-23). Submissions 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. A link to submit abstracts, as well as the full Polymer Division schedule, can be found here: https://callforpapers.acs.org/boston2018/POLY Abstract submission deadline is Monday March 26. Andrew R.
