Description
Section information text: This course is designed to provide chemists and biochemists with a basic knowledge of polymer synthesis and structure property relationships, primarily focused on using synthetic strategies to control the structure and architecture of biomaterials. An overview of polymer synthetic routes and fabrication techniques utilized in biomedical engineering will be provided. Drug delivery systems, tissue engineering scaffolds, biodegradable and biocompatible implants will be used as model systems to explore the process of biomaterial design from synthesis to end applications. The main goal of this course is to provide students a set of chemical tools for the development of new biomaterials or the modification of existing polymer systems to achieve design targets. A design project will be utilized to engage students in their own research interests through the application and integration of the course material.
