The symposium on “Plastics Heritage“ provides an interdisciplinary forum for all aspects of plastics history. The aim
is to bring together people from different areas of plastics
heritage in order to deliver and to obtain new insights in and
from the different topics and intentionally to elucidate their
significance also for possible modern developments.
Programme Topics:
Plastics history
(polymers, plastics, processing, applications, companies)
Plastics heritage
(art, design, everyday’s and technical objects, architecture)
Conservation of plastics heritage
(artefacts, technical heritage, material characterisation)
Conservation with polymers
(adhesives, coatings etc.)
Documentation, reproduction
(archives, data bases, digital scanning, 3D-printing etc.)
Collecting plastics objects

Bioplastics – designing with an upcoming material
Lecture abstracts should include one page text+pictures as
MS Word file, including title, authors, affiliation and e-mail
addresses and five key terms. The presenting author is indicated in underlined characters. The abstracts must be sent to
the contact address not later than 30 April 2014 (deadline).
The first thermoplastic and thermosetting material, used in
human history were natural biopolymers, during a very long
period unchanged and chemically modified since around 150
years. Because of oil depletion and sustainability issues,
different kinds of biopolymers are today ‘rediscovered’ on a
modern level or new ones get increasing importance.
Will bio­plastics renaissance influence future design with
respect to form and material choice, as well as environmental
issues such as CO2-footprint and biodegradation?
This will be discussed with competent panellists, coming from
design and materials. At the end, questions may be asked by
the audience.
