OVERVIEW

The Material Science Course is intended to provide to the students the knowledge and the skills to manage a Biomedical problem concening materials and their properties. Metals, Polymers as well intro to Composites will be introduced and  macroscopic features will be presented as directly dependant upon the micro and the nano structure of the materials. Bulk and surface features will be highlighted  in order to highlight their importance for the biocompatibility aspects.

All the features will be intended as part of a Project , in a engineering viewpoint, therefore students will be pushed to look for a possible sounding solution for the discussed topics.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The purpose of the course is to make it clear to the student how much the material, the thermal and chemical treatments and the modifications of the production processes can influence and modify the characteristics of the materials used in the biomedical field. The difference in performance between the material in bulk form compared to its microscopic applications where the characteristics of the surfaces become fundamental in the interfaces with the organic environment will be analyzed in detail.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students will be driven to analyze a problem concerning materials applications as a whole, with great consequences on several aspects of a real project. Therefore the Material science Course aims will be focussed to provide a sure definition of the technical problems and the the evalutation of possible different solutions based upon the different parameters affecting a scientific and industrial engagement. Students will be requested to apply their knowledge to analyze and evaluate the technical need of some proposed case studies in a scenario of an engineering approach to the evaluated items.

PREREQUISITES

Chemics and Physics knowledge are strongly recommended as necessary base to study Material Science. Measure Units awareness, as well as  basic knowledge about forces and tensions are intended as mandatory.

TEACHING METHODS

Class lessons and discussion of case studies

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Slides and lectures provided by the teacher. In detail : Material Stuctures (Metals and Polymers); production technologies; thermo-mechanical treatments focussed to modify materials bulk properties; energetic treatments applied to clean and modify the surface materials properties; surface - vapour and surface liquid interactions; wetting (static and dynamic); intro to composites (anisotropy of composite materials); intro to regulatory affairs of biomedical materials.

Book Chapters could be provided if any special topics will need it. Suggestions from selected scientific papers will be also debated with the students.
