INTRO TO BIOMATERIALS

PREREQUISITE: CHEM2015
Biomaterials is a term used to indicate materials of which implants, extracorporeal
devices, and many disposables are composed. Over the past two decades,
significant advances have been made in the development and use of medical, dental
and other health care related devices. This course discusses the fundamental
chemical and morphological principles, physical/mechanical testing, properties of
modern materials, their syntheses, clinical effects of material/tissue interactions,
and government certification requirements of biomaterials.
