一、課程說明 (Course Description)
<br>The purpose of this course is to provide material, biological, and chemical 
<br>science students with an overview of natural and engineered composite 
<br>materials 
<br>employed in medical applications with an emphasis on material properties, 
<br>functionality, design and material response in the biological environment. The 
<br>principal aim is to consider various classes of biomaterials and their 
<br>composites 
<br>that are capable of mimicking/emulating complicated functions of biomedical 
<br>applications.
