Introduction
This course introduces and exposes learners to different classes of biomaterials and their applications. It provides an introduction to specific materials commonly used in medical devices, as well as general structure and properties of the main material classes used, namely metals, ceramics, polymers and hydrogels.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering
- FlexiMasters in Materials Science and Engineering
At the end of the course, learners are able to:
1. Classify materials into three main classes: metals, ceramics and polymers;
2. Describe the structure-property relationships of metals, ceramics and polymers for use in medical applications and;
3. Discuss important material properties to consider when selecting a material for an implant and their implications.
Metals and Ceramics in Medicine
- Structure and properties of metals and ceramics
- Applications of metals and ceramics in medicine
Polymers in Medicine
