Covers the general aspects of polymer materials, the 'Big 5' technical polymers, spider silk nanostructure, synthetic polymers, major application segments of plastics, and the activities of the Polymer Science department at EPFL.
Explores the tissue engineering paradigm, focusing on steps of cell isolation, seeding cells on a scaffold, cell stimulation in a bioreactor, and implantation of tissue engineered constructs.
Explores the classification, molecular structures, mechanical behavior, and viscoelastic properties of polymers, emphasizing temperature effects and material responses.
