Overview of Biomaterials 2

The knowledge of biomaterials is critical for the creation of novel medical devices. The purpose of the course is to systematically study the properties and characterization of basic materials used in the conventional medical devices, including metals, ceramics and polymers.

In addition, the design principles of biomaterials for applications in various advanced medical devices (artificial organ, medical diagnosis devices, drug delivery system (DDS)) will be examined.
