Art Conservation and Restoration
Accelerated aging tests are methods used to evaluate the longevity and performance of materials by simulating the aging process under controlled, extreme conditions. These tests help predict how materials will degrade over time due to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light exposure. By understanding the degradation mechanisms and kinetics involved, conservators can better assess the durability of new materials and techniques in conservation.
congrats on reading the definition of accelerated aging tests. now let's actually learn it.
