Objectives
THE PURPOSE OF THE COURSE IS TO PRESENT TO THE STUDENT THE MOST WIDELY USED AND USED MATERIALS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS. IN THIS FIRST PART ARE DESCRIBED THE PHYSICAL AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY OF THE REACTIONS BY WHICH MACROMOLECULES ARE SYNTHESIZED. POLYMERIZATION REACTIONS ARE CHARACTERIZED AS TO THEIR KINETIC AND THERMODYNAMIC FEATURES, THEIR SCOPE AND UTILITY FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF POLYMER STRUCTURES, AND THE PROCESS CONDITIONS, WHICH ARE USED TO CARRY THEM OUT. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON UNDERSTANDING THE REACTION PARAMETERS, WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE IN CONTROLLING POLYMERIZATION RATES, POLYMER MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES SUCH AS BRANCHING AND CROSS-LINKS.
THE PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOCOMPATIBILITY PROPERTIES OF SUCH MATERIALS WILL BE DESCRIBED. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS WILL BE GIVEN TO POLYMERIC MATERIALS AND MEDICAL ISSUES (EG CONTROLLED DRUG RELEASE, JOINT PROSTHESIS, TISSUE SCAFFOLDS, ETC.) THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED AND SOLVED BY THE USE OF THESE MATERIALS.
Prerequisites
NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY, AS WELL AS THOSE OF POLYMER CHEMISTRY

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS ESSENTIALLY CONSTITUTED FROM FRONT LESSONS. VISITS TO MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION LABORATORIES ARE ALSO PLANNED, DURING WHICH THE MAIN INSTRUMENTS USED IN THIS FIELD WILL BE DESCRIBED.
Verification of learning
THE EXAMINATION SHOULD PURSE THE READING OF THE FORMATIVE OBJECTIVES REACHED BY THE STUDENT.
EXAMINATION TYPE: WRITE TEST (WITH QUESTIONNAIRE MULTIPLE ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS OPEN OPEN) AND EVENTLY ORAL.
IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT SUPPLY THE WRITTEN TEST, OR IF NOT SUFFICIENT OF THE VOTED PROPOSED, IT IS FORMED ORAL TEST
Texts
THE USE OF LECTURE TRANSPARENCIES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
