Resumo: The conservation of plastics has become a real concern in fashion collections. The researches carried in the last years in institutions dedicated to preserve modern and contemporary clothing, show the existence of a surprising number of polymeric materials, natural based or chemically synthetized, as well as several emerging conservation problems related to them. Literature and publicity from the 19th and 20th centuries evidences that their introduction to fashion was possible thanks to scientific and technical discoveries focused in obtaining lower-budget alternatives to costly materials historically used in jewelry and dressmaking. These discoveries lead to the creation of a new range of materials that revolutionized fashion, from the earliest moldable materials to the first artificial plastics produced by chemical modification and finally, synthetic plastics. The present work aims to review the characteristics, applications and conservation of plastic materials within contemporary costume collections, which nowadays, represent a big challenge for the field.

A investigação efetuada, nos últimos anos, em instituições dedicadas à preservação do vestuário moderno e contemporâneo, mostra a existência de um número surpreendente de materiais poliméricos, de base natural ou sintetizados, bem como vários problemas emergentes de conservação com eles relacionados. A literatura e a publicidade dos séculos XIX e XX mostram que a sua introdução na moda foi possível graças a descobertas científicas e técnicas centradas na obtenção de alternativas menos dispendiosas a materiais historicamente utilizados na joalharia e na confeção de vestuário. Essas descobertas levaram à criação de uma nova gama de materiais que revolucionaram a moda, desde os primeiros materiais moldáveis até aos primeiros plásticos artificiais produzidos por modificação química e, finalmente, os plásticos sintéticos.  Este trabalho pretende fazer uma revisão das características, aplicações e conservação dos materiais plásticos nas coleções de trajes contemporâneos, que hoje em dia representam um grande desafio para a área.ARP - Associação Profissional de Conservadores-Restauradores de Portugal2023-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.14568/cp27897eng2182-99421646-043XPorcel Ziarsolo, Alazneinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-08-01T02:31:48Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/27897Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:02:56.350297Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
