Accelerated ageing

From: Amber Tarnowski <ambertarnowski>

I am searching for an accelerated aging testing chamber. I would
like to have a few samples tested with light exposure and
fluctuations with temperature and humidity, simulating the outdoor
environment. I understand that accelerated aging tests have
drawbacks, but I think the information gained would be beneficial to
my research project. I am performing research on three anti-graffiti
coatings to determine if they are appropriate for use in preventive
conservation on outdoor sculpture. Is anyone currently performing
accelerated aging tests on polymers that I may add a few samples to?
