The Department of Materials Engineering held an awareness lecture entitled "The Role of Psychological Counseling on the Impact of Drugs on Society and Combating Social Stigma" on Tuesday, 11/12/2024 at noon in Hall 8. The lecture was given by Ms. Iman Kazim Hamza, in the presence of the Head of the Department, Prof. Dr. Jawad Kazim Aliwi, and many second-year students in the department. The lecture included identifying the threat of the spread of drugs to the life of the individual and society, as the health damage of drugs to the individual is reflected in his family and society as a whole, and it reaches the point of the emergence of social and economic problems. Drug addiction is the scourge of the age. The stigma surrounding addiction creates significant barriers to social integration, impeding access to job opportunities, stable housing, and supportive social networks. Moreover, internalizing societal stigma often leads to feelings of shame, guilt, and self-isolation among individuals suffering from drug use disorders. At the end of the lecture, the head of the department praised the distinguished efforts made in preparing and delivering the lecture and appreciated her efforts with a certificate of appreciation for the lecturer.

Abstract
The study aimed to manufacture a cream to treat second-degree burns using plant and herbal extracts such as Moringa herb, St. John's wort, aloe vera, okra and fish collagen to obtain a cream that avoids side effects and reduces the use of chemicals. The results showed that all the prepared creams had similar viscosity except for the aloe vera and okra sample, and that the chemical tests such as pH values were within the normal range that the skin can tolerate, and the biological tests such as the animal study and the histological test proved the efficiency of these creams in treating burns and restoring almost all layers of the skin.

The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology awarded a PhD to researcher Lamis Salam Faeq on Thursday, 31/10/2024, in the Graduate Studies Hall in Building B for her thesis entitled:
“Development of Microwave Dielectric Materials with Low Loss Factor"
Abstract
The study aimed to obtain lightweight, high-performance materials for use in wireless communication and high-frequency applications. A composite material composed of ceramic reinforced with polymer was prepared to achieve a balance between the excellent dielectric properties of ceramics and the mechanical flexibility of polymers. Three types of crystalline structures (scheelite, wolframite, and perovskite) were added at 5% and 10% concentrations to three types of polymers: epoxy, polyurethane, and silicone rubber.The ceramic compounds were prepared using solid-state reactions and include Zn1-xCuxWO4 (x=0, 0.03), Ba1-xMgxWO4 (x=0, 0.4), Ba2MgWO6, Ba2ZnWO6, Bi2Mo0.5W0.5O6, (1-x)CaWO4-xNa2WO4 (x=0, 0.2, 0.4), and (Na0.5Bi0.5)(Mo0.5W0.5)O4 (x=0.5). Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to study the crystal structure, phase formation, and surface of the oxidized materials. The dielectric properties of the composites were determined using a vector network analyzer (VNA) within the frequency range of 4-8 GHz. A mathematical model known as the Nicholson-Ross-Weir (NRW) model was used to convert the measured scattering parameters to dielectric constant and loss tangent. The results showed that composites containing 10% ceramics provided higher performance compared to 5%, especially in the frequency range of 7-7.98 GHz. These composites exhibit enhanced dielectric properties, frequency stability, and minimal signal loss, making them suitable for high-frequency applications.

"With the participation of researchers Prof. Dr. Farhad Muhammad Othman from the Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology, Alaa Saadi Dawood from the Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology. in Scopus-indexed conference
Abstract:
The need for manufacturing nanomaterial has increased, and because the manufacturing processes, in general, have led to an increase in pollution and damage to the environment, the tendency for green chemistry has increased to extract nanomaterial from natural and available sources. In this research, a safe, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive method was used to synthesize Nano-alumina particles, where the Nano-alumina was extracted from four different types of leaves of local plants that are widely available, which were leaves of Mentha, Buckthorn, Damask Rose, and Myrtus communis, using aluminium nitrate as a precursor. The powders extracted from the mixture of Damask Rose, Mentha, Myrtus communis, and Buckthorn leaves have particle sizes of 231.7 nm, 14.2 nm, 78.5 nm, 12.9 nm, and 166.9 nm, respectively. The results showed that the pure alpha-alumina was procured from all leaves with various morphologies within the nano-size.

Abstract:
Green chemistry techniques are increasingly used to produce nanomaterials from easily accessible natural resources. The present study utilized a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable method to separately synthesize copper oxide, iron oxide, and mixed oxide nanoparticles, with the help of fruit peel extracts. The nano-oxides were synthesized from the local fruit peels, specifically orange, cherry, and sidra (Ziziphus jujuba). The findings from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle size analysis (PSA) revealed that the nanoparticles are semi-spherical, with particle sizes ranging from 83.9 to 118.7 nm for CuO, from 95.2 to 119.8 nm for Fe2O3, and from 60.6 to 90.4 nm for mixed oxides extracted from three fruit peels. The conducted experiments on bacterial and fungal resistance revealed that the produced oxides are effective antibacterial and antifungal particles. The synthesized nanoparticles were also analyzed through AFM and Toxicity.
