2014 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Hybrid Biomaterials

This session will focus on the design, preparation, and application of composite biomaterials comprising hybrid compositions of two or more inorganic and/or polymeric components. Emphasis will be placed on the engineering of functional biomaterials based on these hybrid chemistries.
