Functional materials (Submajors: biomedical textile materials and technology, biomaterials, new energy and photoelectric materials)

The major of Functional materials, which requires by the national strategy, is supported by the Ministry of Education. This major roots in the strong majors of textiles, material sciences and biochemistry in Donghua University. There are three submajors, biomedical textile materials and technology, biomaterials, new energy and photoelectric materials. After finished two-years course program, students in this major will select their submajor based on the scores, submajor resources and their interests.

Main Courses:Public courses: Advanced mathematics; Physics; English; Fundamentals of computer technology;Linear algebra; Inorganic chemistry; Organic chemistry; Physical chemistry; Analytical chemistry;

Basic major courses: Engineering drawing; Electrical and electronic technology; Probability and statistics; Engineering mechanics; Materials science and engineering foundation; Experimental design and data processing; Polymer science; Introduction to functional materials; Functional materials

Biomedical textile materials and technology

This submajor involves in the study of the basic knowledge of biology, medicine, biomedical textiles and their combination, and aims to improve the abilities of students on the laboratory operation, design, development of new products, merchandise and management. The students need to get familiar with the latest development in functional design, biomedicine textile materials/technologies and merchandise. The students will have the ability to work for the development, fabrication, education, management and merchandise in the fields of biomedical textiles, artificial organs, functional biomaterials and textiles for health care.
