What are biomaterials?
Biomaterials are materials that can function as a whole or part of a device to treat assist, repair, or replace any tissue, organ, or function of the body. They may be polymers, metals, or ceramics. Grunlan Group Research We design novel polymeric biomaterials to improve the performance of medical devices and techniques. By tailoring polymer structure at the molecular-level, we are able to establish predictive relationships between polymer structure, materials properties, and performance. Si-Containing Polymer Biomaterials A principal distinction of our research is the development of inorganic-organic “hybrid” materials by combining inorganic silicon-containing polymers and organic polymers.
