This course focuses on polymers (both synthetic and biopolymers) for bioengineering applications. Topics include polymer chemistry and characterization techniques, design criteria for bioengineering applications, nanocomposites, and hydrogels. Applications of polymers in tissue engineering and drug and gene delivery will be covered. Undergrad Prereq: 4310, or CBE 3508; or permission of instructor. Grad Prereq: Grad standing in Engineering; or permission of instructor. Cross-listed in CBE 5738.
