Learn about the suitability of plastics and their advantages
in the design, conservation/preservation/treatment
of buildings, bridges, and other structures and of art and historic objects.
The new two-volume publication
"ARCHITECTURAL PLASTICS & POLYMER COMPOSITES..."
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS PLUS
provides a valuable compendium of data on plastics . . .
with useful information on properties and performance aspects, including
• energy efficiency • sustainability • construction savings • durability and service life
This Proceedings Plus package also details a wide variety of case histories dealing with historic and contemporary projects. In addition, material selection and current research are discussed, as are preservation/restoration treatments, care procedures, and health implications. Yet another feature of the package is a digital file of the full contents of over 40 relevent books, articles, and other literature dating from 1917 to 2020.
The papers and supplemental material in the book are authored by leading authorities in the architecture, architectural and art conservation/preservation, engineeering, polymer science, and building technology fields.
