UV Resistance:
Lignin – naturally U.V. absorbent material
Found in secondary cell walls
Similar to cellulose but more flexible
Lignin cloth available
Test density, concentration, tension
Use UV lamps/light source to test break down of DNA, time-dilation
Study in Czech Republic:
Exposure to UV, broke bonds, over time less resistance
Questions to investigate:
Is the cloth expensive?
What other variables can we test?
How would we be able to set up a working experiment/measure the degradation of DNA?
