Plastics have short lifetimes compared with those of traditional materials found in museums, exhibiting deterioration within 5 to 35 years of acquisition. Deterioration and conservation of plastics olgects in museums has only been recognized formally as an area worthy of research since 1991. However, despite its novelty, the conservation of plastics is a rapidly developing field. A measure of the recognition of plastics conservation as a serious discipline was the creation of the working group Modern Materials and Contemporary Art (MMCa WG) by the International Council of Museums Committee for Conservation in 1996.
