Synchrotron radiation techniques can contribute to understanding the principal mechanisms behind silk degradation and the role of heavier elements in the degradation process (either from additives during textile processing or from environmental factors).
One of the missions of this center is to harness new
synchrotron radiation techniques for in situ studies of materials structure and dynamics in extreme conditions and thereby to understand and produce new energy materials.
