Course unit content
<p> • Natural and synthetic polymers for biomedical use. <br />
• Tridimensional polymeric scaffolds. <br />
• Chemical modification of polymers. <br />
• Solid-state manipulation. <br />
• Physico-chemical characterisation polymeric films: <br />
hydrophilicity (contact angle, swelling index); <br />
mechanical characteristics (elastic module, elongation to break, deformability); <br />
porosity of tridimensional structures; <br />
surface characteristics (roughness) by microscopy; <br />
chemical composition of the surface. <br />
• Polymeric scaffolds as drug delivery systems. <br />
