Course content
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, students are requested to make a report on a theme related to social issues through a group work.
Purpose of class
The purpose is to obtain a bird's-eye view of the current status and future prospects of drug delivery using polymers. In addition, through group work for problem solving, cultivate the ability to solve social problems by utilizing the knowledge of specialized fields.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the current status and potential of the use of polymer compounds in medicine.
  2. Understand the outline of substance transport and metabolism in the living body.
  3. It is possible to devise a method to utilize the knowledge about polymer chemistry to solve social problems.
  4. Has the ability to work with team members to solve problems.
