Course description

Biopolymers are natural polymers derived from biological sources, while hydrogels are three-dimensional networks that can retain large amounts of water. Biopolymer-based hydrogels are widely used in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications. They offer biocompatibility, biodegradability, and tunable properties for various uses.

What will i learn?

• Students will get introduced to different classes of biomaterials and their applications
• The vast applications of biomaterials will encourage students to explore them in detail and to design and engineer synthetic and natural materials for biomedical applications
• The course would also enable the students to appreciate the role of tissue engineering as a tool to enhance the quality of life
