Synthesis and thermal decomposition kinetics of moisture curable polyurethane films as a reinforcing material for cultural relics

Abstract In situ consolidation is the most common treatment to conserve cultural relics, but materials for preserving fragile organic cultural relics in humid archaeological excavation sites are scarce. To solve the problem, a moisture-curable polyurethane (MCPU) prepolymer was synthesized by reacti...
