Lecture

Natural Biomaterials: Course 2

Description

This lecture delves into naturally derived biomaterials, covering their definition, time-dependent use, causes of failure, design parameters, biopolymers, PLA materials, shape memory behavior, mechanical requirements for coronary stents, PLA degradation stages, protein-based materials like silk, and their exceptional properties. The instructor explores the hierarchical structure of silk, its unique combination of properties, and its applications in bioengineering, tissue engineering, and wound coverage, with a focus on silk wound dressings.
