Semester: summer semester 2019/2020
Language of instruction: English
Form of verification: exam
ECTS credits: 6
Description:
The Metallic biomaterials module shall enable that students are knowledgeable about processes occurring at the metal-tissue interface, about types of metallic biomaterials, their properties and potential application possibilities in the environment of a human or animal organism. Owing to that students shall achieve the understanding of correlations between those materials structure, possibilities of its shaping and specific mechanisms of their operation. The understanding of those relationships shall result in honing the skill to select, from individual metallic biomaterials, a material satisfying conditions of specific applications.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education in physics, chemistry, crystallography, thermodynamics as well as rudiments of materials science, introduction to biomaterials, and physico-chemistry of biological processes modules.
