The Laboratory of Biomaterials and Surface Engineering is located in the Pontifical Catholic University of Parana – Graduate Program of Mechanical Engineering, in the Polytechnic School Building (Bl. 9) on the main campus in Curitiba, PR. The work in our lab consists of studies related to biomaterials and surface modification of differente materials used in a varied types of industries (biomedical, dental, aerospace, manufacturing, oil and gas, automotive), tests to understand mechanical, tribological, corrosion resistance, and the sinergy among those properties, and the study of interactions between biomaterials and the living system. The laboratory posses state-of-the-art facilities in materials characterization, surface analysis, and electrochemical behavior.
