MSE 485 Biomaterials
The course introduces fundamental aspects associated with synthesis, properties, processing/fabrication and application of materials derived from or associated with bio-entities. The course focuses on biomaterials with broad applications beyond medical or clinical uses. The course emphasizes the biological systems unique machinery and function in the context of desired outcome that utilizes a material or materials' systems. Fundamental concepts covered in the course include: differences among classes of biomaterials; toxicity vs biocompatibility of biomaterials; bulk vs surface properties of biomaterials; interactions of biomaterials with different environments; biomaterials stability and degradation; biomaterials for sensing and bioelectronics applications; biomaterials for energy, soft robotics and responsive materials applications; and biomaterials for drug delivery.
Typically offered in Spring only
Materials Science and Engineering (BS): Biomaterials Concentration
The Biomaterials Concentration within the Materials Science and Engineering (BS) program provides interdisciplinary study at the intersection of materials science, biology, and engineering.
