Thesis include preparation conductor polymer from polyvinyl which consider insulation by electrical spinning. Electrical conductive polymer prepared from polymer solution (polyvinyl) with different percentage additive of (copper chloride, nano copper powder, nano silver particles, polyaniline, and carbon nano tubes), and the effect of these additive into microstructure, conductivity, and mechanical properties.
The work include the effect of additive into electrical conductivity, viscosity, and surface tension of solution which used to preparing conductive membranes. The results show increasing electrical conductivity with increasing additives and decreasing viscosity and surface tension, except in case of polyvinyl alcohol solution /copper, and polyvinyl/silver.

The thesis discussion preparation and characteristic of bio functionally graded materials as replacement to hip, via powder technology technic. Experimental part of thesis include preparation two types of specimens First group was 10 layer zirconia-alumina symmetric graded specimens, where structure of specimens gradually change from center (zircon) to surface (Alumina), second group was 10 layer ceramic- titanium functionally graded materials, where composition gradually change from ceramic ( Alumina & zirconia stablish yttria) to 100% titanium. Physical properties tests include apparent density and porosity to green and sintering specimens, while mechanical properties include micro hardness, fracture toughness, residual stresses, and wear resistance. Bacterial activity had been tested for specimens and ingredient materials by diffusion method where creation bacterial groups had been counted. All samples showed high antibacterial activity against E. coli more than the basic components, finally microstructure of specimens had been tested by scanning electron microscope and chemical analysis.
This thesis had been scientific evaluation by assistance Prof Dr. Ayad Mourad Takhakh / Nahrein University / mechanical department. And linguistically by Assistant Prof Dr. Omar Faroke Lutfiy / university of technology/ control and systems engineering department.

Thesis discussed possibility of extracted Alumina from Iraq Kaolin, Dweikhala position/ Anbar. Kaolin rocks had crashed and milling to get less than 325 µm, before firing at 650 °C for 90 minute to remove organic and crystalline water. Then Kaolin powder had been treated with hydrochloride for 2 hours to separate silica by nomination from Alumina, after that the powder had rinse for 2 to 5 period, final step include deposition Alumina hydroxide which could be converted to Alumina by heat treated. This process produce Alumina hydroxide with high purity, more than 98%. The second part of thesis discussion using extracted alumina to produce refractory bricks, where mixing with Kaolin, and investigation characteristic of the produced bricks. The investigated properties include density, apparent porosity, water adsorption, compression strength and X-ray diffraction. The results show decreasing apparent density with increasing alumina content, increasing water adsorption with increasing alumina content.

Participation in a Conference
On 23/12/2017 a group of academic staff from the Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology (Assist.prof. Dr.Niven Jamal Abdulqader, Dr. Ahmed Ameed Zainulabdeen, Assist. Lec. Aseel Mahmoud Abdullah and Assist. Lec. Sahar Hussein Ahmed participated with Dr. Hussein Mohamed Yousuf from the General Company for Steel Industries and Eng. Dr. Ahmad Muzaffar from the University of Qadisiyah, in Iraq's fourth conference for oil and gas
First research was:
Assessment of oil outer pipe coating effect on the electric current for cathodic protection
This paper deals with impact of silica powder and ethyl silicates as coupling agent on the cathodic protection electric current. Analytical study is performed to evaluate the required current to protect the oil pipe (10 km length and 6 inch diameter). Many prototypes of oil pipe are prepared to and coated by previous mentioned materials. The inner diameter is protected by cathodic current. Some characteristics of coating had been investigated and evaluated. The results show that the coating of outer diameter of oil pipe by silica powder and ethyl silicates is reduced to halve value from the requested protection current.
Second research was:
Study of the low temperature effect on the some properties of lining coating of steel liquid gas tank
This work deals with the study of physical properties like shrinkage, adhesion force and coating thickness of aluminum powder and ethyl silicates as coupling agent. The results show that coating strongly resists low temperatures and it is non-porous for liquid gas like propane methane and nitrogen. The best thickness of coating was (5 mm). The optimization is executed using Takeuchi-Enova technique
Scientific visit
On 4/3/2018 scientific visit had been organized by: Dr. Sura Salim Ahmed, Dr. Hana Aareer Smeij, Lec. Mervat Mehdi Hanoos, and Assist.Lec. Mina Faisal Khudair, Faculty of Materials Engineering / University of Technology. The students of the third stage in the Ceramics and Building Materials branch/ Department of Materials Engineering visited the National Center for Structural Laboratories for the laboratory tests; it includes a number of laboratories for ceramics and building materials, including the concrete laboratory for the physical and chemical tests of the thermal bricks and floors. The students knew several types of tests carried out inside the laboratory, the most important of which are: the strength of the fracture, the hardness test, the absorption test, chemical resistance test against specific acids and corrosive solutions that may ceramic products exposed to, as well as the test of thermal conductivity for floors and bricks.
