Learning objectives

Main goal of the course is the understanding of the chemistry and physics of natural and synthetic polymers used in tissue engineering and drug delivery

Prerequisites

General knowledge of inorganic and organic chemistry are required

Course unit content

Natural and synthetic polymers for biomedical use.
Tridimensional polymeric scaffolds.
Chemical modification of polymers.
Solid-state manipulation.
Physico-chemical characterisation polymeric films:

porosity of tridimensional structures;
surface characteristics (roughness) by microscopy;
chemical composition of the surface.
Polymeric scaffolds as drug delivery systems.
