'Chemical Principles of Textile Conservation' provides must-have
knowledge for conservators who do not always have a scientific
background. This vital book brings together from many sources the
material science necessary to understand the properties,
deterioration and investigation of textile artefacts. It also aids
understanding of the chemical processes during various treatments,
such as: cleaning; humidification; drying; disinfestation;
disinfection; and the use of adhesives and consolidants in
conservation of historical textiles. Textile conservators will now
have ready access to the necessary knowledge to understand the
chemistry of the objects they are asked to treat and to make
informed decisions about how to preserve textiles. The combination
of a chemist and a conservator provides the perfect authorial team.
It ensures a unique dual function of the text which provides
textile conservators with vital chemical knowledge and gives
scientists an understanding of textile conservation necessary to
direct their research. The many practical examples and case studies
illustrate the utility of the relatively large chemical
introduction and the essential chemical information which is
included. The case studies, many illustrated in colour, range from
the treatment of the Ghandis' clothes, high-altitude flying suits
and a Mary Quant raincoat, to the Hungarian Coronation Mantle.
