Document Summary
A (nonviable) materials used in a (medical) device, intended to interact with biological systems. Types of materials used: engineered materials polymer metal ceramic carbon composite, natural materials. Biocompatibility: biocompatibility is the ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application, we will study synthesis, optimization, characterization, testing of biomaterials and their interactions with hosts. Consideration of biomaterials designs: historically today. Mechanical and performance requirement (duration and other physical properties) Ethics and regulation: today future. Biocompatibility: material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application. Healing: rational design of biomaterials based on better understanding of natural materials and the material/biological organism interface, application properties structures processing, structure refers to the arrangement of matter. Both synthetic materials and biological systems has many length scales of structural importance. Primary chemical structures (0. 1-1nm: atomic and molecular bonding, chemical structure strongly dictate biomaterials performance.
