Portable Raman with Goggles
This report summarizes work completed under the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) grant MT-2210-10-NC-10, “Molecular characterization and technical study of historic aircraft windows and head gear using portable Raman spectroscopy.” The grant impetus was to evaluate a portable Raman spectrometer as a potential survey tool for rapid characterization of plastics in museum collections. This was explored through an applied case study of window materials used in aviation beginning in World War I. The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum (NASM) and Museum Conservation Institute (MCI) collaborated in this endeavor.
