Course description and aims

Many kinds of polymeric materials have been developed for various purposes so far, and they are indispensable in our daily life.
In this lecture, students learn polymeric materials for the applications in medical and environmental fields, especially their material properties and structure-function relationships. Students also learn strategies for the design of the polymeric materials depending on targets and discuss molecular behavior at interfaces.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Explain kinds of bio-based polymeric materials and their material properties
2. Explain functions required for medical and environmental applications
3. Explain approaches to design biomaterials
4. Explain interfacial behavior of molecules near biomaterials

Keywords

biocompatibility, bioabsorption, bio-based plastics, biodegradability, renewable carbon source

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Class work, reports and excise problems.
