This course delves into the mechanical and atomic attributes of implant materials—metallic, ceramic, and polymeric, embracing corrosion, degradation, and failure aspects. Topics span phase diagrams, forming techniques, ductility, brittleness, resilience, and toughness concepts. It introduces materials' roles in inflammation, wound healing, fracture healing, and blood coagulation, emphasizing biocompatibility in orthopaedic and cardiovascular contexts. Students explore crystalline and non-crystalline structures, structure determination methods, nanoscale materials, size-dependent properties' implications, and material chemistry. As an introduction to material science, this course equips students with insights into materials suited for biomedical applications and devices, encompassing both theoretical foundations and real-world relevance.
