All polymers are intrinsically susceptible to oxidation, and artifacts
suffer from degradation, which makes their long-term conservation
a major concern for museums, conservators and material
scientists. After several decades in microclimatic museum conditions,
celluloid artifacts show spots, discolouration and yellowing,
and the materials become brittle and show cracks leading to total
breakdown of the artifacts [3,4] (Fig. 1). In order to propose conservation
treatments that are adapted and suitably efficient for the
long-term preservation of celluloid, it is of prime importance to
elucidate the degradation mechanism of this material and the
consequences of the degradation on the visual and mechanical
properties of celluloid artifact collections
