Position of the course

The main objective of this course is to provide insight in the potential and limitations of polymeric, ceramic and metallic materials for biomedical applications. In this context, both biomedical applications in general and applications aiming at the preservation, repair or replacement of diseased or damaged hard and soft tissues or organs will be discussed.

Contents

1  Part on (Bio)polymers: Advanced applications of polymers for medical applications including scaffolds for tissue engineering, polymers for celencapsulation, thermoresponsive materials, Biocompatibility of biomaterials; cell viability, cell adhesion, …

2  Part of Bioceramics: chemical, physical and mechanical properties of bioceramics. Potential and limitations of calcium phosphate and cements, bioactive glass, aluminium oxide, zirconium oxide, carbon and composite ceramic materials. Forming techniques. Correlation between in vitro and in vivo applications in medicine (regeneration, tissue engineering, cancer therapy…).

3  Part on Biometals: chemical, physical and mechanical properties of biometals, corrosion and applications in the biomedical sector. The basic biometals will be explained, but the main focus will be on the advanced processing including 3D printing technology and advanced biometals such as shape-memory alloys, bioresorbable metals et
