Students have gained prior knowledge in:
- the structure and reactivity of organic compounds
- basic knowledge of macromolecular chemistry and the behaviour of polymers
- basic knowledge of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics
- basic concepts of redox chemistry and electronics

In the course Materials for advanced health care students explore the relationship between material properties and their practical use in healthcare. They will delve into the underlying concepts and learn to apply them through case studies.
The course offers a comprehensive understanding of these aspects through:
-
Expert lectures: These lectures focus on ongoing research in materials used for healthcare applications, such as drug delivery systems, biosensing and medical imaging, and tissue engineering.
-
Journal club discussions: These sessions help students understand common experimental workflows and gain knowledge about specific characterization methods relevant to real-world cases.
-
Self-study assignments: These assignments complement the journal clubs and expert lectures by focusing on specific topics that have broader applications in the field. Examples include biocompatibility and sterility, bioorthogonal chemistry, surface modifications, mechanical performance, and (bio)degradability.
The goal of this course is to deepen students' knowledge of materials in the context of (bio)medical applications. By the end of the course, students will:
- Be familiar with various (bio)medical applications and understand the specific material requirements for each.
- Comprehend how the (bio)medical context influences the choice of synthesis methods.
- Possess the ability to independently acquire new knowledge related to materials for healthcare applications and effectively share it with their peers.
