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