Course detail
Materials for biomedical applications
FEKT-MPA-MBAAcad. year: 2020/2021
The subject will deal with special materials proposed for the use in biomedical praxi. The sensors and special electrodes will be described in one of the main chapters. Another chapter will contain knowledge on new electrochemical power sources for medical devices both stand/alone and implanted such as pacemakers. An important section will be devoted to the corrosion and lifetime of materials in biological environment and to the compatibility if implanted devices in tissues. The influence of charged particles and heavy ions in atmosphere on the condition of human organism will be treated in another section. Finally, the use of NMR for diagnostic and analytical purposes will be described in next section.
