BMT-73206 Biodegradable Polymers, 5 cr

Implementation BMT-73206 2017-01

Description

After completing the course students can define and explain polymerization, structure and degradation mechanisms of biodegradable polymers.
Students will be able to compare most common synthetic polymers with natural based biodegradable polymers and analyze their special characteristics compared to other polymers. In addition, they can describe the special requirements of processing and sterilization of biodegradable polymers. Students have learned to compile summaries based on different scientific articles and to work as a group member. Students are able to compare biodegradable polymers and analyze applications based on the material properties.
