Abstract
The study aims to modify the surface of a commercially pure titanium implant to enhance osseointegration and bioactivity by preparing a thin coating layer of polymeric material (PMMA) as a matrix with the addition of ceramic particles (45S5 and MgO) in different percentages. X-ray techniques, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the structure and chemical composition. The mechanical properties were assessed using scratch hardness and Vickers microhardness. Also, by examining the water absorption, the results showed that the coating layer is hydrophilic. And by immersing samples in simulated bodily fluids, the results showed that the coating layer was highly capable of achieving osseointegration by forming a hydroxyapatite layer.

Abstract
The study aims to fabricate geopolymer concrete with high mechanical properties and acceptable thermal insulation using waste materials like fly ash, Kufa cement plant waste, and glass waste powder. The concrete's mechanical properties were evaluated using tests like hardness, compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength. In contrast, water absorption, porosity, and thermal insulation tests used to evaluate physical properties, X-ray techniques, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the structure and chemical composition. The results show the possibility of manufacturing environmentally friendly concrete using some waste that has better mechanical and thermal insulation properties with minimal CO2 emissions than ordinary Portland concrete.

Abstract
This study involved the green synthesis of copper oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles three times using peel extracts from orange, cherry, and sidr. It also included creating a nanocomposite of these oxides from cherry and sidr peels. The nanoparticles' structural, biological, physical, and toxicity properties were analyzed. The impact of adding these oxides on concrete’s mechanical and physical properties was examined. Electrochemical tests showed that copper-iron oxide nanoparticles significantly improved the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel, with a corrosion efficiency of 86.8% and a 57% improvement in concrete containing this oxide.

Abstract
The study aimed to manufacture a biomaterial with good mechanical and biological properties from a composite material consisting of PMMA polymeric material reinforced with natural and ceramic nanoparticles using the ultrasonic mixing method in order to use it as articular cartilage. We investigated the effect of adding reinforcement materials on the mechanical, physical, and biological (in vitro and in vivo) properties of PMMA. The study found an improvement in the mechanical and biological properties of PMMA with the addition of natural and nano-ceramic materials.
The thesis discussion was conducted in a scientific atmosphere and a PhD degree with grade of pass was awarded to the student after the completion of all the corrections that have been decided by the examiners.
