Nanomaterials

This teaching unit is dedicated to the presentation of inorganic materials and nanomaterials for use in the biomedical field (imaging, therapy, implants). It builds on the knowledge acquired in UE HAC930C (Development of materials for health). The aim is to develop health issues and inorganic materials and nanomaterials in diagnostics, therapy and wellness. Strategies for developing the inorganic materials and nanomaterials of the future based on therapeutics and multifunctionality, and intelligent materials will also be addressed.

The course comprises lectures and tutorials. Students will be offered a group project on the (theoretical) study of an inorganic material or nanomaterials for health.

The aim of this UE is to deepen theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in inorganic materials and nanomaterials used in the healthcare field. The objectives of this course are listed below:

• Master the concepts and notions of inorganic materials and nanomaterials applied to the biomedical field.
• Know the major issues in the healthcare field where (nano)materials are used.
• Understand the specific design features of this type of (nano)material, the prerequisites for their use, and their behavior in living organisms.
• Learn about the main classes of inorganic (nano)materials, their properties and applications.
• Know the main diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for certain pathologies.
• Analyze scientific and technical articles.
