Description:
The module Metallic biomaterials provides students with a full knowledge about physical and chemical processes occurring on the metal - tissue interface, structure and properties as well as application possibilities of metallic biomaterials. Owing to that students shall achieve understanding of the specific nature of conditions to be met by metallic materials typical for those applied in medicine and veterinary medicine. The understanding of those relationships shall result in acquiring the skill to select, from individual metallic biomaterials, a material satisfying conditions of specific applications.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of level I modules education in physics, chemistry and rudiments of materials science or materials science
