Goals Characterization of biomaterials requires a detailed investigation of the physical, chemical, mechanical, morphological, and biological properties of the developed materials in biological environments. These characterization techniques play a crucial role in the selection of materials. The main objectives are to gain knowledge about characterization methods, to understand the techniques commonly encountered in the literature, and to interpret them accurately.
Course Content This course covers the **physical, chemical, mechanical, morphological, and biological characterization techniques of biomaterials**, including their working principles and interpretation of the obtained results. In addition, the course addresses the **selection and evaluation of appropriate characterization methods according to different sample types**.
