Physics applied to Pharmaceutical Sciences

 

“Importance of knowledge in materials physics for designing devices”

 

1.- Medical devices: selection of the most adequate material

 

2.- Mechanical properties of different materials

Clarification of mechanical properties as strength, deformation, Young Modulus (elasticity modulus) elastic limit and toughness.

                Variation of properties in different materials

                Influence of parameters as temperature and velocity in mechanical behavior

 

3.- Importance of the elastic limit for designing devices:

                Difference between fragile and ductile materials

 

4.- Introduction to fracture mechanism:

                Influence of holes or defects in the rupture of devices.
