MECE 6318 Intermediate Biomaterials
The course will introduce the fundamentals of biomaterials science, such as the bulk and surface properties of biomaterials, interactions of biomaterials with host tissues, testing of biomaterials, and the use of materials in orthopedic, cardiovascular, dental, and other applications. This course will also cover the fundamentals of the synthesis, properties, and biocompatibility of metallic, ceramic, polymeric, composite, and biological materials, and their applications for both hard and soft tissue replacement, and controlled drug delivery. It will provide an opportunity to introduce students to engineering materials used in medicine and dentistry for the repair and restoration of damaged tissues and bones. A wide spectrum of materials used in biomedical engineering, biological-biomaterials interactions, host responses, and materials evaluations. Finally, this course will also provide students with a broad understanding of cutting-edge development in nanomaterials and their potential applications in bioengineering.
