  21. education research development

  22. Teaching:DICHI provides teaching staff for degree courses in: • Materials engineering • Mechanical engineering • Chemical engineering • Environmental engineering with various courses in chemistry, as well as ceramic, metallic, polymeric and composite materials science and technology.DICHI organises student laboratories for Chemistry, Materials Science and Chemical Processes and Plants.

  23. PhD courses: • Chemical Engineering • Materials Science and Technology with about 25 attendees every year. also involved in theDoctorate in Devices and Materials for Micro and Optoelectronics.

  24. Research Activities: various areas ranging from fundamentals of chemistry and materials science to the production and behaviour of engineered materials

  25. In Material Science: • metallurgy • bulk ceramics • preparation of ceramic nanoparticles • preparation of nanostructured solids • and in particular…

  26. Biomaterials: • Active bioglasses (E. Vernè, C. Vitale) • Scaffolds (the same) • Drug delivery systems based on nanostructured solids (E.Garrone, B. Onida)

  28. E. Garrone: chemist (physical chemist) Work on ceramic surfaces by spectroscopy, thermodynamics and computational methods (not really a specialist in biomaterials…) Responsible for the PhD course in “Material science and technology”

  29. Content of these talks?

  30. “Biomaterial is a material conceived to interface with biological systems to monitor, support or substitute any tissue, organ or body functionality” (II International Consensus Conference on Biomaterials, Chester, Great Bretain, 1991).

  31. A classical book, about 10 years old

  32. Its table of contents

  33. Continued…

  34. The program of a course in Biomaterials at your University
