Module-1
FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE: Classes of biomaterials used in medicine, basic properties, medical requirements and clinical significance. Disinfection and sterilization of biomaterials. Physico-chemical properties of biomaterials: mechanical (elasticity, yield stress, ductility, toughness, strength, fatigue, hardness, wear resistance), tribological (friction, wear, lubricity), morphology and texture, physical (electrical, optical, magnetic, thermal), chemical and biological properties.
Module-2
ELEMENTS IN CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE OF A BIOMATERIAL: Blood composition, plasma proteins, cells, tissues. Phenomena at the biointerfaces. Molecular and cellular processes with living environment, blood-materials interaction, short and long term reactions to the body. TESTING OF BIOMATERIALS: in vitro, in vivo preclinical and in vivo clinical tests. Concept of biocompatibility. Definition, Wound healing process-bone healing, tendon healing. Material response: Function and Degradation of materials in vivo. Host response: Tissue response to biomaterials, Effects of wear particles.
