In medical implants and -devices, polymer-based biomaterials play an essential role. This laboratory course covers a broad range of experiments in which the student prepares his/her own medical implant or device, and assesses its functionality.
Research topics that are treated during this course include:
- Biodegradable polymer-based materials in implant devices and drug delivery
- Ring-opening polymerization and network formation by photo-polymerization
- Advanced (composite) biomaterials and microstructures
- Well-defined polymers and nanoparticles
