Foams and Cellular Materials

Semester: 
Spring

The course covers issues related to the structure and properties of foams and cellular materials. It will be studied in detail the mechanical, thermal, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular materials with a view to a diverse range of applications (construction, biomaterials, etc.). The focus is on the structure-properties relationship of such materials in order to provide students with tools for the development of new cellular materials.

Introduction to Biomaterials

Semester: 
Spring

The word "Biomaterial" refers to a broad set of materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites) with very different properties. All biomaterials are biocompatible, and are used in various medical applications. 

The main goal of the course is to give an insight to materials structure-properties relationship, with enphasis on materials for biomedical applications.
