ICMOBT : 5 2013 - 5th International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues

5th International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues
Conference Chair
Markus J. Buehler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Topic List
Hard tissues and materials (e.g. bone, teeth, mineralized biomaterials such as armors)
Soft tissues and materials (e.g. cartilage, tendon, silk, elastin, organs)
Natural, biologically inspired and biomimetic materials (including biomimicking materials)
Metals and ceramics as biomaterials
Mechanobiology (development, physiology and disease)
Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering
Multiscale modelling and simulation of tissue mechanical properties (e.g. ab initio approaches, molecular dynamics, coarse-graining, finite element modeling, fluid-structure interactions)
Multiscale experimental characterization of tissue mechanical properties (e.g. AFM, TEM, nanoindentation, optical tweezers, x-ray diffraction, in situ methods)
Hierarchical polymer materials and composites (e.g. dental ceramics and fibre-reinforced composites)
Self-assembly of biological and biomaterials (e.g. peptides, DNA, polymers, nanoparticles, hierarchical structures)
Tribology, friction and wear as well as fatigue
Materials failure in physiologically extreme conditions and disease (e.g. infectious disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease)
