Biomaterials This graduate level class will provide students with an understanding of the basic concepts concerning structure and properties of materials used to replace soft and hard biological tissues including metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, natural, resorbable, and other less common materials. After the device is implanted both the tissue and material responses to the environment are of interest and will be investigated. A number or different tissue replacements will be considered including skin, maxillifacial implants, total joints, and teeth.
