Document Summary

Biotech 4bl3 biomaterials and biocompatibility lecture 1. Material science investigates relationship between materials structure and properties. Material engineering based on materials science, designing and engineering the materials structure to produce desired properties via processing. Atomic electronic cannot change the processing to change this material. Lattice crystal structure, has specific chemical, magnetic, electrical, and mechanical properties. Generally covalent and ionic bonds are described as the strongest bonds. Formed when atoms share valence electrons to satisfy partially filled orbitals. More overlap of valence shells = stronger covalent bonds. Formed by exchange of electrons between metallic and non-metallic atoms. Metallic atoms donate electrons and become positive ions. Non-metallic atoms receive electrons and become negative ions. The strong repulsive forces of like ions limit the atomic arrangement of ionic solids. In a metallic bond, binding electrons are delocalized over a lattice of atoms. In contract, in ionic compounds the locations of the binding electrons and their charges are localised.
