Because their polymerization occurs in a few seconds under UV light, Ultraviolet light curing adhesives (UV adhesives) represent a seductive choice for the bonding of glass in conservation, especially when the fragments cannot be temporarily maintained. This thesis evaluated the suitability in terms of mechanical resistance of UV adhesives for the bonding of glass in conservation. Four UV...

The specimens of this collection are relatively well preserved but two of them are in a state of critical preservation. Their long-term preservation requires the application of a...
