MODULE 1 (RIZZO)
BIOMATERIALS: CHEMICAL STRUCTURES AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
THE COURSE AIMS TO DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BIOMATERIALS AND THEIR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
N DETAIL, THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF METALS, ALLOYS, CERAMIC MATERIALS AND POLYMERIC MATERIALS WILL BE DESCRIBED. THE IMPERFECTIONS PRESENT IN SOLIDS, POINT DEFECTS AND DISLOCATIONS WILL BE DESCRIBED, HIGHLIGHTING HOW THEIR PRESENCE ALTERS THE PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIALS THEMSELVES, FOR EXAMPLE INCREASING THEIR RESISTANCE .
THE MAIN TECHNIQUES OF CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MATERIALS WILL BE BRIEFLY INTRODUCED AND IN PARTICULAR THE TECHNIQUES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURES OF SOLIDS AND THE MICROSCOPIC ONES AIMED FOR EXAMPLE AT THE DETERMINATION OF GRAIN SIZES WILL BE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED.
PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO DESCRIBING HOW THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MICROSTRUCTURE MODIFIES THE PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIALS THEMSELVES, SUCH AS THE THERMAL PROPERTIES (THERMAL CAPACITY, THERMAL EXPANSION, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY) AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES.
THE MAIN SKILLS DEVELOPED BY THE STUDENT WILL BE:
- RECOGNIZE THE CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF THE DIFFERENT BIOMATERIALS
- CORRELATING THE PROPERTIES OF A BIOMATERIAL WITH POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS IN THE BIOMEDICAL FIELD

MODULE 2 (VENDITTO)
BIOMATERIALS: MEDICAL DEVICES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO DESCRIBE THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND USED MATERIALS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS. IN PARTICULAR, THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES INVOLVED IN THE INTERACTION WITH THE BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF THESE MATERIALS WILL BE DESCRIBED. THE CLASSES OF MATERIALS USED IN MEDICINE (CERAMICS, METALS, POLYMERS, COMPOSITES) IN THEIR MOST WIDESPREAD APPLICATIONS WILL ALSO BE DESCRIBED.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THERAPEUTIC DEVICES (ARTICULATION AND DENTAL PROSTHESES, CARDIOVASCULAR DEVICES, CATHETERS, DEVICES FOR OPHTHALMOLOGY, NEPHROLOGY, APPLICATIONS FOR CONTROLLED DRUG RELEASE, ETC.) AND THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPLANTATION (RESPONSE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, INFECTIONS, TECHNIQUES OF STERILIZATION) TOGETHER WITH THEIR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, WILL ALSO BE DESCRIBED.
THE MAIN SKILLS DEVELOPED BY THE STUDENT WILL BE:
- THE ABILITY TO DISCUSS AND ANALYZE THE PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE INTERACTION BETWEEN MATERIALS AND BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
- RECOGNIZE THE APPLICATION POTENTIALS AND THE CRITICAL POINTS OF A MATERIAL IN THE BIOMEDICAL AREA
Prerequisites
NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY, AS WELL AS THOSE OF POLYMER CHEMISTRY
Contents
1) FIRST MODULE (BIOMATERIALS: CHEMICAL STRUCTURES AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES; PROF.SSA P. RIZZO):
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIALS AND THEIR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF METALS, ALLOYS, CERAMIC MATERIALS, COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND POLYMERIC MATERIALS.
IMPERFECTIONS PRESENT IN SOLIDS, PUNCTUAL DEFECTS AND DISLOCATIONS HIGHLIGHTING HOW THEIR PRESENCE ALTERS THE PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIALS ITSELF, INCREASING FOR EXAMPLE THE RESISTANCE.
MAIN TECHNIQUES OF CHARACTERIZATION OF MATERIALS AND IN PARTICULAR THE TECHNIQUES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF SOLIDS AND THE MICROSCOPIC TIMES FOR EXAMPLE TO DETERMINING THE SIZE OF THE GRAINS (TEM, SEM) WILL BE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED.
TRANSFORMATION OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND THEREFORE OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE SAME MATERIALS AS FOR EXAMPLE THE THERMAL PROPERTIES (THERMAL CAPACITY, THERMAL EXPANSION, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY) AND OPTICAL.

2) SECOND MODULE (BIOMATERIALS: MEDICAL DEVICES AND INTERACTION WITH BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS; PROF. V. VENDITTO)
BIOMATERIALS AND BIOCOMPATIBILITY, BIO-INERTIA AND BIO-ACTIVITY, DEFINITIONS. (0.5 CFU)
INTRODUCTION TO THE CLASSES OF MATERIALS USED IN MEDICINE (CERAMIC, METALLIC, POLYMERIC, COMPOSITES). (0.5 CFU)
THERAPEUTIC DEVICES AND ADDRESSED PROBLEMS (ORTHOPEDICS, DENTISTRY, CARDIOVASCULAR DEVICES, CATHETERS, OPHTHALMOLOGY, NEPHROLOGY, CONTROLLED RELEASE OF DRUGS, ETC.) (0.5 CFU)

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS MADE UP OF FRONTAL LESSONS AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES. LABORATORY ACTIVITIES PROVIDE THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOMATERIALS. DURING THESE ACTIVITIES THE MAIN INSTRUMENTS USED IN THE FIELD OF BIOMATERIALS WILL BE DESCRIBED AND USED. VISITS TO APPLICATION LABORATORIES IN THE BIOMEDICAL AREA OF MATERIALS ARE ALSO PROVIDED.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM IS AIMED TO ENSURE THAT THE STUDENT ACHIEVES THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES PROVIDED BY THE TEACHING.
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE TEACHING IS VERIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH A THIRTYTH EVALUATION. THE EXAM INCLUDES TWO ORAL TESTS, ONE AT THE END OF EACH MODULE. EACH TEST IS ASSESSED IN THIRTY AND IS INTENDED TO BE PASSED WITH A MINIMUM VOTE OF 18/30. THE FINAL VOTE IS GIVEN BY THE AVERAGE OF THE VOTES REPORTED IN EACH ORAL TEST.
AS AN ALTERNATIVE, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE A SINGLE ORAL EXAM ON BOTH THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE INDIVIDUAL MODULES
BOTH INDIVIDUAL ORAL TESTS WILL BE OF THE ORIENTATIVE DURATION OF 45 MINUTES, DURING WHICH
THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO ANSWER A SERIES OF QUESTIONS THAT COVER ALL THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE RELATED FORM
