Abstract:
The research aimed to develop the properties of denture base made of PMMA by using reinforced natural powders (hazelnut and almond shells). The experimental part included mechanical tests (tensile, max. shear stress, Impact, flexural, hardness and surface roughness). The physical tests were conducted including density, water Absorption and DSC, FTIR analysis for miscibility properties. The results showed that as the weight fraction of reinforcing hazelnut and almond shells increased, the tensile strength, elongation percentage, maximum shear and density all dropped. The flexural strength, Impact strength, hardness and fracture toughness were increased with increasing the weight fraction of reinforcing materials and also surface roughness, water absorption. In FTIR test there is no change in peak magnitude or peak shift for PMMA composite specimens when the addition of hazelnut or almond shell powder. In DSC the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PMMA composites strengthened by hazelnut or almond shell powders increased as the weight fraction increased.

Abstract:
The study aimed to utilize geopolymer, represented by metakaolin material, treated with alkaline solutions (NaOH, KOH, and Na2SiO3), as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cement and brick for the production of geopolymer bricks used in thermal insulation. Nanomaterials (nano clay, nano zirconia, nano talc) were added to enhance its strength and reduce thermal conductivity. Mechanical and physical tests, as well as other characterization techniques such as FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDX, and DSC, were conducted after 28 days of curing. The results showed an improvement in compressive strength, Hardness, and a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the manufactured brick samples.

Abstract:
The study aimed to produce titanium and chromium cobalt alloys using silicon and niobium as 5% alloying elements by powder metallurgy for implants in orthopaedic applications. These alloys were coated by a multi-flame thermal spraying process using two different types of Nano coating (Type A: 75% hydroxyapatite + 25% silicon carbide), (Type B: 75% zeolite + 25% zirconia). Surface characterization, mechanical, chemical and biological properties were performed for each sample. The best results were achieved after adding alloying elements and coating them with Nano-coating.
