BME 740 Biomaterials Surface Science and Engineering

Credits: (3-0) 3

This course focuses on the surface properties of biomaterials and their influence on biological and clinical outcomes. Specifically, the general surface properties of biomaterials such as surface chemistry, surface morphology, surface roughness, and surface charges will be explained. The course will cover the different instrumentation that is currently available to characterize biomaterial surfaces. Also, a variety of surface modification technologies available to engineer biomaterial surfaces will be covered as well. Example cases will be provided regularly to emphasize the biological and clinical significance of biomaterial surfaces.
