Course Overview
Definition of Biomaterials for this course:
Materials designed for application to problems in biological engineering or biotechnology. This includes materials
comprised of purely ‘synthetic’ or ‘natural’/’biological’ components, but will focus primarily on hybrid materials that make
posed of both.
-not ‘off the shelf’
-our objective is to cover the chemistry and physics of these materials
