Final Project

The students will form groups of 3-4 members. Each group pick 3-4 research articles of one
topic from a leading biomaterials research group. By the end of the semester, each group
should come up with a proposal of the ‘next step’, and present it during the last week of the
semester. A formal report is required from each group as well. 
Lecture 1
Introduction to Biomaterials
 Different classes of Materials

metals, ceramics, polymers, glasses, carbons,

composites, proteins Composition Function


Structure
 Structural features

atomic, molecular, nano-size, macroscopic

 Properties Characterization

chemical, mechanical/physical, biological

 Characterization tools
What is a Biomaterial?

 A nonviable material used in a medical device intended to interact with biological systems.

 Used to make devices to replace a part of a function of the body in a safe, reliable, economic,
and physiologically acceptable manner.

 Any substance (other than a drug), natural or synthetic, that evaluate treats, augments, or replaces
any tissue, organ, and body function.

Think 3 words that are related to Biomaterials!

Williams, D.F. (1987) Definitions in Biomaterials. Proceedings of a Consensus Conference of the European Society For Biomaterials, England, 1986, Elsevier, New York
Word cloud generator from top articles including the word “Biomaterials”

 Solving problems in medicine and biology.


 Biomedical applications: implants, drug delivery, tissue engineering, immuno-bioengineering,
sutures, adhesives, devices, disease modeling systems.
Why “Biomaterial”?

 The compelling, human side to biomaterials is that millions of lives have been saved, and the quality of

life improved of millions more!


 A fast evolving, multidisciplinary field!

The combination of basic science (chemistry, physics and biology), engineering (chemical, materials, mechanical),
with medicine (patient specific, preclinical) and industry (product development, manufacture and commercialization).

Biocompatibility ≠ Cytocompatibility
 Biocompatibility — The ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a
specific application.
 There is no general set of criteria, that if met, qualify a material as being biocompatible

 The time scale over which the host is exposed to the material or device must be considered

Material Contact time


Syringe needle 1-2 s
Tongue depressor 10 s
Contact lens 12 hr - 30 days
Bone screw / plate 3-12 months
Total hip replacement 10-15 yrs
Intraocular lens 30 + yrs
16
Host Response — The response of the host organism
(local and systemic) to the implanted material or device.

1. What are some desirable host responses?

2. What are some undesirable ones?
