Acrylic polymers have been widely used in the field of conservation since the 1930’s. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that under certain conditions, these synthetic polymers are subject to degradation through the activities of microbiological organisms. The biodeterioration of synthetic polymers is of particular concern to conservators when used for the long-term protection of arc...
