Biology In Materials Science

MTLE-4470

This course will cover the basic principles of biology in the context of materials science as well as emerging and cutting applications of biomaterials science. Topics will include: fundamentals of biological self assembly and hierarchical structures; examination of structure-property relationships in naturally occurring biopolymers, foams, and ceramic composites; biomimetic design and synthesis of novel materials at the molecular and nanoscale levels. Students will gain a deeper appreciation of the impact of biological principles on current topics in materials science.
