BIOPOLYMERS AND BIOCOMPATIBILITY.

Catalog description

The course introduces fundamental knowledge in biomaterials, structure-property-function relationships of the polymers, and their interactions with the host in-vitro and in-vivo. Specific topics include polymer-based biomaterials, polymer synthesis, property characterization, types of biodegradable polymer, their processes, and the evaluation for biocompatibility and host responses. Prerequisite: Accepted into the BE Professional Program or consent of the BE undergraduate advisor.
