      The goalStudents will gain knowledge of biocomposite materials with applications in medicine and dentistry. It is foreseen that students will adopt the expertise in processing, structural characterization and implementation of biocomposites. Students will be trained in designing of composites with predicted properties by selecting starting materials, their content, shape and interphase. Students will learn about basics of biocompatibility.
      The outcomeStudents acquired basics in synthesis, properties and characterization methods of biocomposites and their applications in dentistry, orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery. Students gained basic expertise in testing of mechanical and surface properties as well as in biocompatibility. Course requires the seminar work preparation.
