Resumo: The plastic objects from our cultural heritage are material testimonies of our history, technology and industry. Still, in Portugal, there is no museum of plastics, and the collections are spread through private collectors and industries. The research project, "The Triumph of Bakelite – Contributions to a History of Plastics in Portugal", aims at creating this museum. To this end, the research work gave rise to the exhibition, "Plasticity – A History of Plastics in Portugal", in Museu de Leiria in 2019. This study focuses on the contribution of conservation science for the writing of this history and preparation of ca. 150 historical plastic objects for display. Bakelite, melamine, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and plasticized polyvinyl chloride are just a few examples of the polymers identified by infrared spectroscopy. This identification was crucial to tell the history of the plastics industry in Portugal. Both the spectra and characteristic absorption bands of each polymer are presented.   Received: 2019-6-17 Revised: 2019-11-18 Accepted: 2020-1-6 Online: 2020-5-13 Publication: 2020-11-27

Ainda assim, em Portugal, não existe o museu dos plásticos e as colecções existentes estão dispersas por coleccionadores particulares e unidades fabris. O projecto de investigação, "O Triunfo da Baquelite – Contributos para uma história dos Plásticos em Portugal", pretende construir esse museu. Para tal, o trabalho de investigação deu lugar à exposição, "Plasticidade – Uma História dos Plásticos em Portugal", no Museu de Leiria, em 2019. Este estudo apresenta o contributo das ciências da conservação na escrita desta história e na preparação de cerca de 150 objectos históricos em plástico para a exposição. Baquelite, melamina, polietileno, polipropileno, poliestireno e policloreto de vinilo plastificado são apenas alguns exemplos dos polímeros identificados por espectroscopia de infravermelho. Esta identificação foi essencial para contar a história da indústria dos plásticos em Portugal. Os espectros e as bandas de absorção características de cada polímero são apresentados.   Recebido: 2019-6-17 Revisto: 2019-11-18 Aceite: 2020-1-6 Online: 2020-5-13 Publicação: 2020-11-27ARP - Associação Profissional de Conservadores-Restauradores de Portugal2020-11-27info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.14568/cp2019017eng2182-99421646-043XFrança de Sá, SusanaMarques da Cruz, SaraCallapez, Maria ElviraCarvalho, Vâniainfo: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:RCAAP2024-05-06T11:20:48Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/21571Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-05-06T11:20:48Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
