Overview
What you will learn
After completion of the Biomedical Materials course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the student will be able to:
- Give examples of biomedical material applications, identify material properties that are critical for metallic, polymer
- and ceramic biomaterials, and suggest proper type of biomaterial for given applications.
- Explain basic physical, chemical and mechanical processes that may occur on biomaterials in use, including corrosion
- and degradation reactions that occur for different biomaterials and their consequences.
- Practically perform testing and property evaluations of common biomedical materials.
- Present and evaluate a project and laboratory assignments orally and in writing.
