Biomimetic Materials Engineering

 matsumura kazunari
Course content
Biomaterials engineering research is a interdisciplinary field to develop or study materials/interfaces in contact with biological systems. This research course focuses on self-assembly materials by biofunctional chemicals and sensing/catalyzing biopolymer. Students will learn methodology of the field and achieve skills of these methods in their experiment.
Purpose of class
We will study on self-organizing materials utilizing intermolecular interactions of bio-related substances, surface modification of materials, novel reactions for biomacromolecules.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand biological functions at the molecular level and. To acquire a methodology to research using biological functional science.
  2. To plan and execute experiments for study of materials by using biological function science.
  3. To discuss the results of experiments, and then make findings to advance the stage of research.
Language

Class schedule

 Class schedule HW assignments (Including preparation and review of the class.) Amount of Time Required
1. Students will individually select the research subjects and then draft and execute experimental plans. Research results will be reported at the academic conference after presentation and discussion in laboratory meeting. Finally they will write the master's thesis and make an oral presentation. Not only the literature corresponding to the research topic, but also the research in the surrounding fields should be read through five communications per month. 1800minutes
