Course contents
Modulo 1. Definition of biomaterials and biocompatibility. Some information on the chemical bond, the definition of solid state and classification of the main classes of solids and their major defects. Main techniques for the study of surfaces of biomaterials (spectroscopic, thermal and microscopic techniques and contact angle measurements). Techniques for surface modification of biomaterials (silanization, chemical reactions, plasma or laser techniques, self-assembled monolayers or Langmuir-Blodgett films, etc.).
Module 2. Polymeric materials, ceramic materials, metal materials, (nano) composites materials.
