Summer classes enrolling NOW! Fall registration begins April 20th!

An overview of the application of chemistry to material changes. Atoms and molecules in both organic and inorganic compounds are discussed in detail. The classification of elements and the periodic table are explained. Chemical equations are used to show how elements and compounds combine to form new compounds. Laboratory experiments provide hands-on experience with the concepts discussed in the classroom.

Introduction to basic chemistry in a material conservation context. Emphasis will be placed on atomic structure, chemical bonding, and how chemical structure relates to the physical and chemical properties displayed in common materials used or worked on by conservators. Labs will focus on the chemical deterioration of materials and the processes used for cleaning and repair.
