1 MME 297: Lecture 01 Introduction [1] Introduction to the course; CEO and CLO Dr. A. K. M. Bazlur Rashid Professor, Department of MME BUET, Dhaka Topics to discuss today. What are Biomaterials? Classes of Materials Used as Biomaterials What is Biocompatibility? What Governs Biomaterials Selection? Materials Science and Engineering Paradigm MME297 Structure and Properties of Biomaterials 2/28

2 What are Biomaterials? One (of numerous) definitions: a biomaterial is any material designed to interact in some fashion with a biological system Any material of natural or of synthetic origin that comes in contact with tissue, blood or biological fluids and intended for use in prosthetic, diagnostic, therapeutic or storage applications without adversely affecting the living organism and its components Biomaterials are defined by their application NOT chemical make-up 3/28 General applications of biomaterials Storage of fluids, tissues, and other biological products Diagnosis Monitoring Therapy 4/28

3 Therapeutic Devices in Orthopedics the branch of medicine dealing with the correction of deformities of bones or muscles 5/28 Applications in Dentistry 6/28

4 Catheters Medical catheters are tubes used in healthcare to deliver medications, fluids or gases to patients or to drain bodily fluids such as urine. 7/28 In Ophthalmology the branch of health science dealing with the eye, including its anatomy, physiology, pathology, and other aspects 8/28

5 In Nephrology the branch of medicine that deals with the physiology and diseases of the kidneys 9/28 In Drug Delivery 10/28

6 Modern Applications - Tissue Replacement 11/28 Classes of Materials Used as Biomaterials Drug Delivery Devices Polymers Skin/cartilage Ocular implants Orthopedic screws / fixation Bone replacements Metals Synthetic BIOMATERIALS Ceramics Heart valves Dental Implants Dental Implants Implantable Microelectrodes Semiconductor Materials Biosensors 12/28

7 MIT, OCW 13/28 What are Biocompatibility? The idea of biocompatibility is central to what makes a material a biomaterial. Biocompatibility is the ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application. Appropriate host responses resistance to blood clotting resistance to bacterial colonization normal, uncomplicated healing Specific applications hemodialysis membrane urinary catheter hip joint replacement prosthesis 14/28

8 What do we mean when we say a biomaterial is biocompatible? Is biocompatibility determined by a simple yes or no declaration, or, is there a continuum of biocompatibilities ranging from good to bad? How can we measure biocompatibility? How do we improve or enhance the biocompatibility of a biomaterial? The modern-day concept of biocompatibility involves identification of quantifiable parameters, testable hypotheses, and validated engineering rules. 15/28 What Governs Biomaterials Selection? Historically Today Today Future 1. Bulk properties matches to those of natural organs Mechanical (e.g., modulus, E) Chemical (e.g., corrosion and degradation) Optical (e.g., whiteness, clarity) 2. Ability to process Rational design of biomaterials based on better understanding of natural materials and the material/biological organism interface. Adoption of the Materials Engineering Paradigm 3. Federal regulations Medical device amendment, 1976, USA (all new biomaterials must undergo premarket approval for safety and efficacy)???? 16/28

9 Materials Science and Engineering Paradigm Structure Processing Properties Performance Relationship understanding and controlling of the performance of useful solid materials Performance through the study of interrelationships between materials synthesis and processing, structure, and properties Structure Properties Processing 17/28 Biomaterials research in the modern era is marked by a high degree of interdisciplinarity: Materials Science and Engineering Nanomaterials and nanotechnology Chemistry and chemical engineering Biology and bioengineering Physics and biophysics Biomechanics and mechanical engineering Boston Scientific s Epic vascular stent system made from nitinol (nickel - titanium alloy) 18/28

10 Materials Science and Engineering Nanomaterials and nanotechnology Chemistry and chemical engineering Biology and bioengineering Physics and biophysics Biomechanics and mechanical engineering Gold nanoshells for photothermal anti-tumor applications 19/28 Materials Science and Engineering Nanomaterials and nanotechnology Chest Tube current method prone to infection Chemistry and chemical engineering Biology and bioengineering Physics and biophysics Biomechanics and mechanical engineering silicone polymer AssureFit Developed by Clemson 20/28

11 Biomaterials Scientists study the interactions of natural and synthetic substances and implanted devices with living cells, their components, and complexes such as tissues and organs. Biomaterials Engineers develop and characterize the materials used to measure, restore and improve physiologic function, and enhance survival and quality of life. 21/28 MME 297 Structure and Properties of Biomaterials 3.00 Credits 300 Marks Course Description Basic concepts of materials science.
