Materials in Conservation is the definitive introduction to the properties of materials used in conservation. The continual struggle of conservators to ameliorate the deterioration of objects has led to increasing use of synthetic polymers. These materials are part of the sophisticated technology that has been developed to augment and often replace traditional materials and methods. Conservators therefore have a wider range of techniques available. However, they must be able to appreciate the potentials and pitfalls of any proposed technique.

Dynamic complexity results from hidden, unknownfactors or more precisely, interactions between factors that can unexpectedly impact the performance of systems. When the influences of dynamic complexityare not measured and understood, new never-seen-before behaviors can come as unwelcomed surprises, which disrupt the performance of systems. Left alone, processes that were once prized for their efficiencyunexpectedly begin to degrade costs increase, while volumes and quality decline. Evidence of problems may come too late for effective resolution as technology advancements induce rapid...
