Purpose and description of the content of education:
Multifunctional Biomaterials module allows students to acquire knowledge about metallic, ceramic, carbon and polymer biomaterials with specific properties. Multifunctional biomaterials will be analyzed in accordance with the convention, which will include biomaterial production technology, determination of its properties and use. The module aims to shape the ability to design multifunctional biomaterials in response to the challenges of modern medicine based on the relationship between the method of receiving and its usable properties. The module provides students with the ability to solve practical problems in the field of multifunctional biomaterials, whose development is of key importance for the world economy and aging society.
