This report attempts to isolate and separately examine each of the factors known to lead to cellulose nitrate decomposition, and then relate their contribution to the instability of the polymer when it is used as a bonding agent for ceramics and as a lacquer for metal objects. These factors include deterioration caused by heat, radiation, or acid impurities, or through the loss of plasticizer. There is, moreover, decomposition caused autocatalytically by the initial breakdown products. In particular, the publication examines new information on chemical changes under ambient conditions that has been developed recently through advances in analytical procedures such as chemiluminescence, X-ray scanning spectroscopy (ESCA), and more sophisticated viscometry. This new information will be added to the large body of data, collected over the past 150 years, on the instability of cellulose nitrate under more severe conditions.

"This is a four-part publication designed to explain the effect of temperature and humidity on the rate of film degradation. It is a useful tool for evaluating and planning storage environments for all types of acetate base film, cinema film, and microfilm. Environmental specifications for film storage are covered, and the relationship between temperature, relative humidity, and the time it takes for "vinegar syndrome" (the slow, chemical decomposition of acetate plastics) to begin to affect fresh film is explained. Valuable quantitative data for the reader to use with his own collection is provided in three easy-to-use forms: a wheel (like a circular slide rule) with temperature/humidity data and corresponding film life expectancies, graphs, and a time-out-of-storage table"--Publisher's description.
