| Content | Based on the fundamentals in materials science, the relations between structure and function/property of biomaterials are derived. Bone implants belong to crystalline solids. Their mechanical properties are given by the defect structure of the bulk material. The corrosion behavior, however, is determined by the implant's surface. Consequently, both bulk and surface structure of the implants have to be tailored. The characterization down to the atomic level is the main prerequisite for improvements. The lecture series also provides knowledge on selected fabrication procedures of different implants including phase transitions and thermally activated processes. The biocompatibility of the materials used for implants does not only depend on the chemical composition but also on the surface morphology. The specific host tissue determines the biocompatibility of the implant as well. |
| Learning objectives | The students learn how - to fabricate biomaterials - to use biomaterials - to exploit the structure-function relationship - to tailor biomaterials with respect to corrosion behavior and biocompatibility. |
