title = "How Trustworthy Is an Adhesive? The Suitability of Adhesives for Use in Conservation of Fine Art",
abstract = "Adhesives used for treatments in the conservation of fine art are often proprietary and subject to change in formulation without notification by manufacturers. Following the market discontinuation of a number of commonly used vinylic and acrylic dispersion adhesives, substitutes are often integrated into working practice without full knowledge of any shift in formulae. Deceptively similar substitutes can result in very different working properties and aging characteristics, eroding trust and confidence in the working practice and rising ethical concerns on adverse consequences for the artwork. This study provides the result of a long-term aging study on 21 common adhesives applied to glass slides and brushed out on opacity charts. Empirical evidence on the properties is provided and correlated with attenuated total reflectance-Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy analysis. The thorough comparison across a decade of aging allows for a compelling performance estimate and can offer guidance for long-term application process and new formulation efforts.",
