Title: Semi-synthetic and Synthetic Textile Materials in Fashion, Design and Art

21-23 February, 2023

Online Free Event

Collections from the 20th century, especially those that focus on fashion, design and art, have semi-synthetic and synthetic textile materials. Since their discovery in the late 19th century, developments and new innovations have continued throughout the present day.

The degradation, preservation and conservation of these materials are in need of constant research, as many behave and degrade in unknown ways when compared to natural textiles and to synthetics used in three-dimensional objects.

This meeting brings together two conservation disciplines, Textiles and Modern Materials & Contemporary Art, to merge knowledge and increase awareness on the technology, identification, degradation, and conservation of semi-synthetic and synthetic textile materials.

The meeting will be virtual, open to both members and non-members, and will include an online post-print publication. We are looking for submissions from conservators, conservation scientists, curators, scholars, and students.

We hope this event provides you with the opportunity to present and publish your research, practical experiences, and knowledge on this topic.

Theme and suggested related topics:

Semi-synthetic and synthetic textile materials (particularly fibres, elasticised textiles, coated and foam-laminated textiles, as well as films):

Innovative manufacturing processes (eg.: 3D printed textiles and high-tech/high performances fabrics)
Surface treatments

Material identification
Research into degradation factors
Treatment studies
Case studies
Preventive conservation issues and solutions

Post-prints
