Introduction to Biomaterials

MDP362 AND MDP261

English Description

Reviews of biological materials (mechanical and physical properties of bone, cartilage, vessels, skin, muscle and the variety of collagen based biological materials), use of metals clinically in joint replacement, use of ceramics in Medicine, polymer and composite material and filler selection for soft tissue replacement (e.g., heart valves), implants, percutaneous prosthetics, and active devices, introduction to the analysis of surfaces, particularly by electron spectroscopy, surface coatings and treatments used to achieve biocompatibility, introduction to the mechanical and physical properties of shape memory alloys, their current clinical use and their clinical potential.
