BIOE 325 - Inorganic Biomaterials Fall

Institution:

Lehigh University

Subject:

Description:

The course will review the material selection process as well as various methods of shaping metals and ceramics and controlling their desired bulk and surface physical properties for biomedical applications. Special attention will be paid to the microstructure development during materials shaping, processing and service since microstructure is linked directly to the final material physical and chemical properties (strength, fatigue, corrosion, and biocompatibility). Real life examples of design and fabrication of medical devices such as dental, orthopedics implants, filters for kidney dialysis as well as stents will be discussed. Understand of the biomaterials physical and chemical functionality in these applications will be made a core objective of the course. Other current research topics will be discussed. Prerequisites BioE 110 or MAT 33, or consent of instructor.
