一、課程說明 (Course Description) 
<br>
<br>This course is to provide the students who lack basic training in materials 
<br>science an introduction to the fundamental concepts of biomaterials, including 
<br>three types of biomaterials (metals, ceramics and synthetic and natural 
<br>macromolecules) and their chemical structure, physical properties, processing and 
<br>applications. Biocompatibility of materials pertinent to their applications in 
<br>biomedical engineering is the other important issue to be given in this course. 
<br>This includes the interactions of biomaterials with proteins and cells and 
<br>biomaterial-elicited specific immune responses.
