Die erhaltung von kunstwerken aus organischen werkstoffen.

The preservation of historical works of artistic and cultural significance that are made of paper, wood, textiles, ivory, amber, and similar organic materials is difficult because of their rapid deterioration due to the action of light, humidity, temperature variation, or attack by fungi and insects. Based on the application of synthetic products, new techniques for the preservation of these materials have been developed in the last few years, which contribute to permanent protection.
