How can polymers keep your heart ticking?

For those with heart valve disease, replacement or repair is often a necessity. Discover the latest in prosthetic valve technology and learn about promising advancements like polymer-based heart valves being developed by a team conducting research within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB). You’ll enjoy a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the moulding and manufacturing processes used to create synthetic valves, as well as insights into how polymers can be intricately shaped to mimic the function of real heart valves – pushing the frontier of heart valve innovation forward.
