Module code: IM2A_WM2_MPB
Programme code: W4-S2MAI19.2025
Semester: summer semester 2026/2027
Language of instruction: Polish
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 2
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module Modification of biomaterials surface shall enable that students are knowledgeable about possibilities to improve physio-chemical-mechanical properties of the surface of materials used in medicine through their surface modification and appropriate surface engineering techniques. Owing to that students should acquire knowledge related to correlations between tissues of a living organism and a biomedical material and about possibilities to reduce interaction effects - materials corrosion, negative interaction of corrosion products with the organism. The understanding of those relationships should result in deepening the skills of materials surface structure shaping to improve their biocompatibility.
