Language: Original   -   Translation
Overview:  
 
Abstract: In this bachelor’s thesis, various cellulose ethers are evaluated for their suitability as an adhesive
for low-fired ceramics in museums. Based on research, criteria for evaluating the suitability of an
adhesive are established and used on the research topic of using cellulose ethers as an adhesive
for low-fired ceramics. The criteria are adhesive strength, ageing behaviour, material compatibility
and optical changes, reversibility, workability, safety for humans and environment und availability
and costs. The focus is on the criterion of adhesive strength. It will additionally be determined and
evaluated through tests on the adhesive strength of ceramical test specimens. This thesis shall give
a first, critical answer on the question about if, and under which criteria, cellulose ethers can be
used as an alternative adhesive for the restoration of low-fired ceramics.
