Project Overview

A variety of biomaterials are currently being installed and embedded within biological system. The wear and tear of these biomaterials will cause changes to its intrinsic properties. Currently, a parameter and device with high specificity and selectivity in detecting failure within embedded biomaterials are unavailable. The goal of this project is to determine a specific property of biomaterial that changes as it reaches failure. We will determine a method to detect and quantify this change in property non-invasively. In the long term, we are hoping to design a device that will exploit these properties difference.
