The Assistant Prof. Dr. (Akram Raheem Jaber) and The Assistant Prof. Dr.( laith Kaiss Abass) are lecturers in department of materials engineering – university of technology published an article in Advance Engineering and materials sciences journal , USA . The article entitle:
“Fabrication of electro spun Getosan /Nylon 6 nano fibrous membrane toward metal ions removal and antibacterial effect
The researchers deal with :
Nylon 6/Chitosan membranes were fabricated by electro spinning onto a Millipore glass fiber filter to produce nano fibrous filter. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and water contact angle (WCA) were done to characterize the produced filter. Filter removal capability (adsorption) for metal ions was investigated for lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and sodium chloride (NaCl). The antibacterial effect of the Nylon 6/Chitosan was investigated for Escherichia coli. Removal optimum values for Pb(NO3)2 and NaCl reached 87% and 75%, respectively. This research demonstrated that Nylon 6/Chitosan nano fibrous membrane has an enormous applicable potential removal for metal ions from aqueous solutions, antibacterial activity reaching 96%, and reasonable inhibition zone against Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Publish Research

The head of department “Assistant Prof. Dr. Jawad K. Oleiwi” published an article in Engineering and technology  journal. The article entitle: Design of Prosthetic Foot From Polymer Materials Reinforced By Carbon Fibers. This article focuses on the Loss of the lower limb can cause loss of mobility. At all places and at all times, efforts have always been made to make up for such a loss. In this work polymer composite materials had been used to manufacture prosthetic foot. Polymer composite materials PMMA:SR/PUR reinforced by carbon fibers (CF) were prepared as suitable material for prosthetic foot then, tensile characteristics were measured and determined. Numerical work included finite element method (ANSYS-15) was used to analyze and evaluate deformation, stress and strain characteristics of a new designed prosthetic foot, which was treated as three-dimensional structure composite polymer material. The experimental and theoretical results were improved that polymer composite materials can be used for this application.
