The goal | The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the very important field of ceramic, polymer and composite biomaterials that are used in pharmacy, medicine and dentistry. Students will be introduced to the most important types of biomaterials, and the method of their synthesis as well as their most important applications. | |||
The outcome | Students acquire knowledge about the structure, properties, methods of synthesis and application possibilities of ceramic, polymer and composite biomaterials. Handle the possibility of their use in controlled drug release systems, tissue regeneration and implant production in pharmacy, dentistry, orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery and special areas. The subject also provides the basics of mechanical and surface properties of these materials as well as their biocompatibility. | |||
