Course Details
• Introduction to Biomaterials Surface Properties: Defining biomaterials, properties of surfaces, and the importance of surface properties in biomaterials interactions.
• Surface Characterization Techniques: Methods for analyzing biomaterial surfaces, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
• Surface Modification Techniques: Techniques for altering surface properties, including chemical, physical, and biological methods, such as plasma treatment, etching, coatings, and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).
• Biomaterial-Cell Interactions: Principles and mechanisms of cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation on biomaterial surfaces, as well as the impact of surface properties on these interactions.
• Biomaterial-Protein Interactions: The role of proteins in biomaterial interactions, the formation of the protein layer on biomaterial surfaces, and the impact of surface properties on protein adsorption.
• Biomaterial-Tissue Interactions: The impact of surface properties on the formation of new tissue, including the inflammatory response, fibrous encapsulation, and foreign body reaction.
• Biomaterial Degradation and Biofunctionality: The impact of surface properties on biomaterial degradation and biofunctionality, including stability, mechanical properties, and drug delivery.
• Case Studies in Biomaterial Surface Properties: Analysis of real-world examples of successful and unsuccessful biomaterial surface design and modification.
