4. This course is intended to provide a general understanding of the multidisciplinary field of biomaterials engineering. Students will be introduced to the properties of biomaterials, surface modification and characterization techniques. Furthermore, the understanding about the interactions at the interface of material and biological systems, classes and application of biomaterials will also be emphasized in this course. Synopsis
