Reminder: Materials for Conservation and a Healthy Environment

Add to cal

On-line only via Zoom


Hoping you all had an enjoyable festive season. A reminder that our first lecture of 2024 is coming up next week. Please register now!
The first CWMS lecture of 2004, from Dr Richard Ball, touches on concerns for all of us - how the buildings we live and work in impact our health - and how materials science is improving the maintenance of historic structures.
In recent years, societies have become increasingly aware of the importance of air quality on health and wellbeing. The interactions between buildings, their human occupants and air pollutants are also interrelated in many ways. This talk will firstly consider outdoor air pollutants revealing how these affect historic building materials and how nanomaterials can be used to repair and mitigate against future damage. Recent work on the study of indoor air pollutants will then be introduced including their interaction with surfaces and how air quality is influenced through the choice of materials.
Dr Richard Ball BEng, PhD, FHEA, CSci, CEng, FIMMM is a Reader in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of Bath. He has a background in materials science and his research interests are focused on construction materials and their interaction with the environment. He is secretary of the West of England Metals and Materials Association.
The agenda for the evening will be:
18:00 Zoom meeting opens
18:15 Lecture begins.
A Zoom link will be sent to those who have registered by email a few days before the event.
