BMES 5266-0

Brief

The aim of the course is to provide detailed knowledge of the structure, function, properties and applications of biopolymers. Polymer Physics and chemistry for some biological structures such as collagen, soft tissue, silk, and artificial polymer is emphasized. The concept of nature as a model for polymeric materials is discussed. Thinking design ability established. Be a maker by your brain and head.

Description

Course keywords: biomaterials, polymer, functional materials. 一、課程說明 (Course Description) The aim of the course is to provide detailed knowledge of the structure, function, properties and applications of biopolymers. Polymer Physics and chemistry for some biological structures such as collagen, soft tissue, silk, and artificial polymer is emphasized. The concept of nature as a model for polymeric materials is discussed. Survey and introduction to biomedical polymer including drug delivery, regenerative medicine, biosensor and other bio-applications are conducted. Maker Project! Thinking design of a project: the students have to figure out the problems in real life or situation, and design a simple "device or software or idea" to prove the proto-type materials. 二、指定用書 (Text Books) 1. B. D. Ratner, Biomaterials Science, 3rd Ed., 2013. 2. J. S. Temenoff and A. G.
