Biomaterials Research using Synchrotron Radiation Techniques Workshop

Friday, November 14, 2003 (afternoon)
½ day workshop (room capacity: 40)

Description:

Address the different biomaterial questions that SR-based techniques can answer, discuss problems in such different sample systems as gases, liquids and solids and explain the variety of SR-techniques that are employed to study biomaterials.
