Polymers are widely used in medical technology. The aim of this course is to obtain the scope of the application of polymers
to medical check, medical treatment, and other medical technologies.
The first part of this course will be conducted in lecture format, starting from principles of polymer science, going into recent application of polymers in medical technologies.
In the second part, each student is requested to have a presentation about a research paper and to accept questions and comments by the other students. Through this process, students are expected to improve the skills of presentation and discussion.
In the final part, students are requested to make a report on a theme related to social issues through a group work.
