This project endeavours to develop and adapt chemical stabilisation
methods into practical conservation treatments which could
effectively halt the autocatalytic deterioration by arresting the
metal ion redox cycle using antioxidants and deacidification agents.

The full stipend is available to UK students or EU students who have
lived in the UK for 3 years prior to the award. Other Overseas
students may also be eligible if they fulfil a range of residency
requirements stipulated on the AHRC guidance.
