Biomaterials like wood are natural polymer composites. Its synthesis/degradation is the process of dynamic solid structure formation/decay. Small-angle scattering (SAS), a method that enables in situ measurements, is a suitable approach for studying the structural dynamics of biomaterials. Our research with SAS will be introduced to spotlight the potential of SAS to study the biomaterial.
