Subject: Conservation Science Annual
The Conservation Science Annual at the Eastern Analytical Symposium The annual mid-November Eastern Analytical Symposium always offers a very rich scientific Program and commercial Exposition in scientific analytical methods and technologies, in a collegial conference atmosphere, and EAS always includes interesting programming on the modern study and care of cultural heritage. In 2012 and since 1994, New York Conservation Foundation's Conservation Science Annual invited sessions at EAS are sophisticated yet accessible symposia, not to be missed. This year the Monday CSA oral program features current applications of mass spectroscopy. Tuesday's CSA oral program, together with the Wednesday and Thursday CSA short course, informally comprise a rare and stellar seminar on understanding and cleaning modern paint and on aqueous systems in the Modular Cleaning Program--on very current methods and technologies for examination, characterization and cleaning. CSA programs always provide a very congenial context for the scientists, conservators, students--all who attend. Come for any or all of the CSA, and also take advantage of other EAS offerings relevant to your needs and interests: seminars, short courses, Oral Program entire technical sessions, or specific presentations.

E12-30. The Modular Cleaning Program: An Accelerated Course for Conservators; organized in cooperation with the New York Conservation Foundation New Two-Day Course E12-30 Wednesday and Thursday, November 14-15, 2012 8:30am - 8:00pm Mr. Chris Stavroudis Paintings Conservator in Private Practice, Los Angeles CA Course description: This two-day short course is designed for conservators to gain a solid foundation in the theory and practice of formulating aqueous cleaning solutions, solvent gels, and polymer-stabilized emulsions. Participants will receive information on cleaning and solvent theory through lectures and readings. They will also learn how the Modular Cleaning Program stock solutions and computer database assist in formulating effective cleaning strategies. During lab time participants will prepare many of the aqueous stock solutions (some will have been prepared ahead of time), become proficient with the MCP computer database and learn to use the MCP to fine tune the cleaning of test paintings. Participants will take away a complete set of the aqueous stock solutions including bottles of aqueous concentrate solutions, and Pemulen stock gels. Who should attend: Practicing conservators who work with painted surfaces and desire more options and skills in cleaning those surfaces. Recommended that each student bring a lap top computer (Windows XP, Vista or 7; Mac OS X 10.4.7 or higher) to run the Modular Cleaning Program database. Topics Introduction to the Modular Cleaning Program and General Lecture on Aqueous Chemistry Using the Modular Cleaning Program Database for Aqueous Cleaning Clearance Issues in Cleaning with Aqueous Systems Review use of pH Meters, Lab Materials The use of Carbonated Water Making Sodium Deoxycholate Stock Solution Further Modifying Aqueous Cleaning Systems "Resin Soaps", Affinity Surfactants and Varnish Removal Co-Solvents, Enzymes Aqueous Cleaning made more Complicated, Ionic Strength Measuring pH and Conductivity of Paint Surfaces Solvents and the MCP Solubility Parameters, Solvent Sets, and MCP Interactive Graphic Display Azeotropes Solvent Gels and the MCP Theory of Gel Formulation, Dual Neutralization Calculator, Amines Clearance Issues in Cleaning with Solvent Gels Pemulin and Velvesil Polymer-Stabilized Emulsions Cleaning Acrylic Surfaces About the instructor Mr. Chris Stavroudis has been developing and improving the Modular Cleaning Program for more than 10 years. Based on the work of Richard Wolbers, the MCP is both a database program and an approach to cleaning works of art. Stavroudis received undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Art History from the University of Arizona and a Master's Degree in Art Conservation specializing in Paintings Conservation from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. He has offered the MCP workshop 20 times to more than 350 conservators in 5 countries. The MCP software has over 1200 registered users worldwide. The Eastern Analytical Symposium always offers an extremely rich program and commercial Exposition of analytical science, and a collegial conference atmosphere. Attend for any or all parts of the Conservation Science Annual, and also take advantage of other EAS offerings whether seminars, short courses, sessions or specific presentations. Please feel free to contact me or any CSA session chairperson or instructor with comments or questions about this year's Conservation Science Annual program at EAS. The Foundation welcomes suggestions for future CSA symposia, too.
