Biomaterials lecture 1
Definition
What are biomaterials?
What materials are biomaterials?
Biological materials properties
1
,Water-Based
Many biomaterials function because of water
So, what is water?
Ability for coordination makes water present everywhere
Uniting synthetic materials with biology
2
,Synthetic material properties
Nano -> micro -> macro
Material properties depend on environment
What operating conditions do we consider?
Material properties in water
3
, Failing material properties in water
Materials & water
Failing material properties in water
Materials & water
