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.
