Course Objective |
The aim of this course is to introduce the graduate students polymeric biomaterials who might use them in designing their researchs or projects. This course consists of two parts: Part I: Polymers as Biomaterials and Part II: Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications of Polymers. The types of polymers used for medical purposes and modification of polymers to increase their biocompatibility are covered in the first part. The applications of the two major groups of biomaterials, natural and synthetic biomaterials, are also discussed. Part II deals with utilization of polymeric biomaterials in tissue engineering, dental surgery, skin graft polymers, medical adhesives and textiles. Finally, each student will be asked to give two seminars on the covered subjects from the recent papers in the literature and their evaluations will affect the success of the student. |
