The goal | Introduction in polymeric biomaterials, methods of their synthesis and characterization, and the most important applications in medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. | |||
The outcome | Students acquire knowledge in the methods of polymer synthesis, their structure, properties and possibilities of application of polymeric biomaterials as drug delivery systems, for tissue and organ reconstruction and regeneration and in the design of various medical devices for use in medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. Based on these skills they are capable to select optimal polymeric biomaterial and method of material synthesis for the desired application. | |||
