Advanced Soft Material Beamline Consortium at SPring-8 (FSBL)

Soft materials, such as polymers and fibers, are key industries in Japan and play a significant role in our daily lives [1–3]. These materials also contribute to our modern society in a wide range of applications, such as in aircrafts and automobiles, and in a diverse variety of medical, electronic, and optical devices. In the future, it is expected that polymer science and technology will continue to expand and play an important role in research related to the environment [4], energy science [5], green technology [6], and biotechnology [7].
