Abstract

in the preservation of cultural heritage items, the use of polymeric materials for the consolidation and protection of artifacts with historical and artistic value is widely accepted. This area is vast and includes studies of various objects different materials such as wood, stone, textiles, and paper. The aim of this article is the preparation and evaluation of some Water Soluble polymers according to its properties for consolidation of archaeological wood. Elucidation the structure of the Synthesized polymers by using different spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Evaluation of the performance characteristics of the treated specimens by several techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Surface hardness.
