Description:
The Biological and physiological aspects of biomaterials module shall enable students learning the nature of biomaterial/tissue interactions, learning the nature of phenomena occurring on the biomaterial - biological environment interface, being knowledgeable about immunological and haematological problems related to the application of artificial organs and implants as well as materials resorption. Owing to that students shall learn and understand mechanisms of human body influence on implants and artificial organs.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the modules: physics, chemistry, physico-chemistry of biological processes, introduction to biomaterials, metallic, ceramic, carbon and composite biomaterials, polymers for medicine, and nanomaterials in medicine.
