We are very excited to be part of the Festival of Plastics this September 9th: a day to exchange experiences, discuss challenges and be inspired! All free and FUN! Further info here: ⬇️@UCL_ISH @MuseumofLondon @Kcurran6K
Do you work with plastic collections? Do you worry about looking after them? The Festival of Plastics could be for you! This free event is part of the @complexplastic project at @UCL_ISH and is run in partnership with the @MuseumofLondon

Today we are marking 4 years of natural ageing and monitoring! We are investigating how environmental conditions and material properties can impact the stability of historic plastics. 📊📉📈Stay tuned for more news soon! @Kcurran6K @UCL_ISH
We are thrilled to announce the most recent output from the Complex project: ‘Water sorption and diffusion in cellulose acetate: the effect of plasticisers’, which is now available to download from here: doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.20… (1/4). @Kcurran6K @UCL_ISH @seahaCDT
We are very grateful to the incredible team from the ICON News magazine for the opportunity to disseminate our work in its April edition! #ScienceBites @Kcurran6K @UCL_ISH @seahaCDT

💡📚No need for time-consuming multiple extraction steps for quantifying diethyl phthalate plasticiser in cellulose acetate artefacts, 😀it can be achieved more easily and quickly using NMR spectroscopy. Read our paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1c5Ar…
@Kcurran6K @UCL_ISH
Research from @SimoniDaRos shows NMR spectroscopy can be used to study degradation of plastic used in art works more efficiently, with contribution from SEAHA students @makearne @RoseKingHS Anna Pokorska + Isabella del Gaudio bit.ly/3mByCaJ
We are thrilled to have our research paper on assessing plasticiser loss using infrared microscopy accepted in the ICOM-CC 19th Triennial Conference icom-cc2020.org/! @Kcurran6K @UCL_ISH @seahaCDT
An inspiring talk on 'Plastics, Smells and Heritage' research by @UCL_ISH Professor Associate @Kcurran6K has taken place last week in the @UCLChemistry! @seahaCDT
Our very own Isabella Del Gaudio is in Malta for the 33rd #PDDG Conference to present her work on the stability of cellulose acetate in museum collections. Check out her poster! @Kcurran6K @UCL_ISH @seahaCDT
What a productive afternoon discussing progress updates with Complex project partners! #HeritagePlastics #Storage #Conservation #QuantifyingDecay #ModellingDecay @Kcurran6K @UCL_ISH @seahaCDT
We would like to hear your opinion about the process of acquisition, storage and conservation of plastic artworks in heritage collections. Please help our research by filling this quick survey:
