Abstract
Radiation effects on collagen and skin have been characterized by mean s of thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectroscopy. X-rays, beta-ray s and UV radiation have similar effects on the molecular mobility of d ermal collagen and skin. They induce a decrease of intra and intermole cular mobility. The restriction of molecular movement can be explained by an increase of collagen cross-links.
