| Abstract | Acrylic paints are commonly found in modern art. The mechanical properties of strength, modulus, and ability to elongate of a large sampling of artists' acrylic paints were studied in the temperature range of -8° C to 33° C, and from 5% to 50% relative humidity (RH). Data derived from the stress-strain curves suggests that acrylic paints lose the ability t o plastically deform in response to applied force below temperatures of 5° C at sot RH, and below 11 ° C at 5% RH. The brittle behavior of acrylic paints below these temperatures suggests a glass transition temperature that is RH dependent. |
