Biomaterials, Nanotechnology and Biomedical Technology

124 resources created by 105 users

This Biomaterials, Nanotechnology and Biomedical Technology page on GoConqr gathers community-made mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and notes, from biosensors and polymers as biomaterials to bioreactors, tissue engineering and nanoparticles. It's built for university students filling gaps in their understanding, and for teachers after ready-made material, with a few resources that suit school students too. There are over 100 resources here, including more than 80 mind maps, 19 flashcard decks' worth of key terms and 3 quizzes. Open a map, test yourself on a quiz, then make your own.

About Biomaterials, Nanotechnology and Biomedical Technology

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The unit brings together materials used in medicine and the small-scale technology behind them. Most of the page is mind maps, with flashcard decks, a few notes, flowcharts and quizzes alongside.

Biomaterials: the mind map on Polymers as biomaterials looks at synthetic, biostable and bioabsorbable polymers, and their shared attributes such as variety of forms and ease of fabrication. Bioglass and Bioceramics have their own maps.
Nanotechnology: maps on the classification of nanomaterials, nanoparticles with their properties, applications and toxicities, and the manufacture of nanobiomaterials.
Devices and systems: Biosensors, Bioreactor, Medical CPS, Robotics in Medicine Part II and VENTILATOR.

Where to start

Begin with the flashcard deck Biomaterials Definitions and the deck called Biocompatibility. They fix the basic terms: what a biomaterial is, and what biocompatibility means. Then open the Polymers as biomaterials map to see how one material family is organised.

Moving on to nanotechnology

The Nanotechnology reading deck explains how nanomaterial properties are the bulk properties augmented by smallness, giving effects such as quantum confinement and superparamagnetism. Follow it with the Classification of nanomaterials map, then the Nanoparticles map for applications and toxicities.

Using maps and quizzes together

Read a map first, then cover it and try to rebuild its branches from memory. Next, take the quiz Orthopaedic and Cardiovascular devices to check what stuck. Note the questions you miss, then return to the matching map or deck, such as the Tissue engineering flashcards or the Biomimetics maps on how nature inspires human engineering.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Materials strand of Engineering and technology (general or other). Teachers can pull single maps or decks into a lesson or reading list.

Pick one map that matches what you are studying, and see how far you can take it.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard decks Biomaterials Definitions and Biocompatibility. They cover the core terms, including what a biomaterial is. After that, the Polymers as biomaterials mind map shows how a whole material family fits together, and gives you a base for the more specialised maps.

What do the mind maps cover?

They range widely. Some deal with materials, such as Bioglass, Bioceramics and polymeric biomaterials. Others cover nanotechnology, including the classification of nanomaterials, or devices such as Biosensors, Bioreactor and VENTILATOR. There are also maps on tissue engineering and biomimetics.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own maps, flashcards and notes, a free account lets you do that.

Which levels do these resources suit?

Most of the material is aimed at university students, with a smaller share suited to school students. Teachers can use it as ready-made material for lessons or revision tasks. Some items are lecture-based decks, while others are shorter overviews.

Are there quizzes on this page?

Yes, there are 3 quizzes. They include Orthopaedic and Cardiovascular devices and CCI04.03.02 Nanotechnology 2.0, alongside a chapter 3 quiz. The flashcard decks give you extra self-testing, for example Biomaterials Quiz and Bioreactors.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a nearby resource first. Many maps overlap, so a topic may sit inside a broader one, such as Tissue engineering or Nanotechnology. If it is still missing, you can build your own map, deck or note on the topic.
