Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module Nanomaterials in medicine shall enable that students are knowledgeable about the classification, structure, defects and properties of nanomaterials used in medicine and about methods of their obtaining, testing and in applications corresponding with modern medicine requirements. Owing to that students will be capable of selecting the material, the method of its obtaining depending on biometric and operational parameters of specific elements of equipment and also to obtain a better understanding of correlations between bionanomaterials obtaining methods, their structure and properties as well as mechanisms forming their properties. In addition, the module will enable students familiarising with a wide range of nanomaterials medical applications and with principles of their operation. This will allow in turn honing the skill to form nanomaterials structure and properties necessary for diverse medical applications.
