Abstract

An adhesive that can withstand elevated temperatures is necessary for the conservation of artifacts in hot climates. The use of Butvar B-98 as a modifier to raise the glass transition temperature of Paraloid B-72 was investigated. The characteristics of B-48N and B-72 blends, currently in use in the field of conservation, were used as a comparison for analysis of the B-98 and B-72 blends. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the blends and shear testing was used to investigate the shear strength of the blends. While the B-98 and B-72 blends attained elevated glass transition temperatures and performed well during shear testing, issues regarding miscibility and phase separation of the blends were investigated using transmission FTIR, DSC, and optical microscopy.
