AIM
• To understand the properties of the Bio-compatible materials
• To study the different types of Biomaterials
• To study artificial organs made using tissue materials
OBJECTIVE
• To study the characteristics and classification of Biomaterials
• To study about the different metals and ceramics used as biomaterials
• To learn about polymeric materials and combinations that could be used as a tissue replacement implants
• To study the artificial organ developed using these materials
