Photopolymer Materials in the Practice of Restoration and Conservation Works on Objects of Historical and Cultural Value

The evolution is analyzed and modern approaches to carrying out restoration, conservation and reconstruction works at objects of historical and cultural value are presented from the standpoint of the limits of the permissibility of using non-authentic materials. The principles of choosing materials for restoration and conservation work are considered. An analysis of the experience of using photopolymer materials in the creation of protective, decorative or reconstructive layers and coatings in order to preserve or recreate objects of historical and cultural significance is presented. The results of studies on the use of liquid photopolymer compositions based on acrylates in restoration and conservation work are presented. The prospects of using photopolymer materials in the practice of restoration and reconstruction are shown, and directions for further research are formulated.
