tlooto Summary
The photo-stability of acrylic polymer Paraloid B72 used for conservation is investigated using ATR-FTIR and DRS spectroscopy, with results suggesting improvement needed.
Abstract
Photo-degradation of the Paraloid B72 has been monitored by means of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR)spectroscopy,diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(DRS),and by measnring its weight loss,hardness and re-dissolve parameters.According to the data of investigation,conclusion was put forward that the photo-stability of PB72 is to be improved.
