- Résumé
- This thesis reports the results of a preliminary study of plastination as consolidation technique for three different materials: archaeological bone, waterlogged leather and watedogged wood. Plastination is a technique that was originally designed for the preservation of anatomical specimens and that uses a silicone polymer as the impregnation agent. Several variations of the plastination technique were evaluated and, in the case of the waterlogged materials, compared with the effect of air drying and vacuum freeze drying. The treatments were ranked by measuring the changes that plastinadon produced in the weight, dimensions, colour, hardness, indentadon resistance and flexibility (in the case of leather) of the specimens. The study included an assessment of the changes in colour, flexibility and indentation resistance of the plastinated specimens when exposed to high levels of light. A chemical analysis of the silicone polymer used as consolidant was also included.
