A patent
The head of the Department of Materials Engineering obtains a patent
The Head of the Department of Materials Engineering, Assist. Prof. Dr. Hussain Alaa Jaber, received a patent titled "Synthesis of nano-sized substituted hydroxyapatite by using rare earth elements, magnesium, and zinc for bio-applications"
Abstract:
In this patent, a new biomaterial was invented which is hydroxyapatite substituted with rare earth elements, magnesium, and zinc, prepared in nano-size through wet chemical precipitation method, where 5% of calcium ions in hydroxyapatite were substituted with neodymium, cerium, magnesium ions and zinc. Several tests were carried out to characterize the prepared materials, and the biological properties were evaluated by examining the resistance of substituted hydroxyapatite to bacteria and fungi, in addition to testing the effect of the substance on normal cells and bone cancer cells. The results showed a new structure of hydroxyapatite after the substitution process and a significant improvement in the resistance of the substance to bacteria, fungi and bone cancer cells compared to the original material before the substitution process.

Abstract
limb that is known as a socket from composite laminates to make it light, flexible, and comfortable.
These laminates are manufactured from fabric layers such as carbon, glass, and Kevlar (i.e., macro hybridization) and different fabric layers with micro particles (i.e., micro hybridization).
To improve the thermal and mechanical characteristics of the socket, multi-scale hybridization was employed in this study.
A patent
Two teaching staff, Prof. Dr. Aala Aladdin Abdel Hamid and Prof. Dr. Farhad Muhammad Othman in the Department of Materials Engineering obtained patent titled
"Using Plant Residues to Prepare Nano-Powdered Aluminum Oxide in a Green Method and Study its Structural Properties"
Abstract
In this patent, nano aluminum oxide was prepared by the green synthesis method from Mentha, Buckthorn, Damask Rose, Myrtus communis leaves, and mixture of these leaves, using aluminum nitrate as a precursor. A high-purity aluminum oxide powder was obtained with the least used materials and in an economical way.
The results showed that the powders prepared from leaves of Menthe, Buckthorn, Damask Rose, Myrtus communis leaves, and mixture of these leaves had an average particle size in nano range. Without lumps and in different morphology, also, the powder extracted from Myrtus communis leaves was in the form of pressed granules. As for the powder extracted from the mixture of leaves, it contained more than one granular shape. All the produced powders were aluminum oxide with alpha phase.
