BioPlastic Lives: Developing a Technical and Social Understanding of Bioplastic Objects Through Investigating their Care, Ageing and Agency in a Museu

对于建议的研究来说，质量非常好。这项最初的建议是博物馆在以下方面及时而重要的研究领域：保护生物塑料，这是藏品中一个日益增长的领域，并将其纳入与公众有关其生命周期和社会中塑料文化遗产的教育和宣传活动。帕纳乔蒂斯写下了这份提案，利用了他以前在博物馆收藏中使用塑料和粘合剂的经验，并在博物馆担任管理员。塑料的老化和护理在过去十年才开始研究，重点放在生物塑料上，这方面还处于初级阶段。然而，随着生物塑料在社会中的应用越来越多，这是一个日益重要的方面。制定博物馆内保护生物塑料的指南是一个重要的问题。就其可行性而言，使用建议的方法是一个极好的项目。在开放大学和塑料设计博物馆(MoDiP)现有的资源和专业知识范围内，该项目是可行的，只需做一些微小的修改。外展方面将极大地受益于OU主管在不同学生群体的在线参与方面的专业知识。该项目还可以从OOC DTP内的其他合作伙伴那里受益，因为其他博物馆的收藏品中也有许多塑料物品。

Excellent quality for the proposed research. This original proposal is in a timely and important area of research for museums regarding: the care of bioplastics which is a growing area within collections and their inclusion within educational and outreach activities with the public regarding their life cycle and the cultural heritage of plastics within society. Panagiotis wrote the proposal using his prior experience of plastics and adhesives within museum collections and working as a conservator in museums. The aging and care of plastics has only begun to be studied in the last decade and focusing on bioplastics targets an aspect that is in its infancy. However, as bioplastics are growing in their applications within society this is an aspect that is increasing in importance. The development of guidelines for the care of bioplastics within museums is an important issue. An excellent project in terms of its feasibility using the proposed methodology. The project is feasible within the resources and expertise available at the Open University and the Museum of Design in Plastics (MoDiP) with some minor modifications. The outreach aspects will greatly benefit from the expertise of the OU supervisors in the online engagement of a diverse student cohort. The project could also benefit from the other partners within the OOC DTP because other museums also have many plastic items within their collections.
