This problem is solved by recycling plastic waste (water bottles) and converting it into DPET powder by reaction process and using it in various applications. The effect of degraded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) on the properties of fuel fluid and paints was analyzed and their properties improved. Characterization of the deterioration was carried out through Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanner (DSC) and tests tested for fuel materials such as viscosity, density, flash point and residue Carbon tests. Paints were tested such as adhesion, thickness and weathering tests. The results showed that the use of percentages of catalyst succeeded in cracking DPET powder. Polyethylene gave a radical solution to plastic waste problems around the world. The use of DPET in the paints also improved the required specifications.

Abstract:
In this study, the Properties of a polyester-based composites, using nanoparticle fillers ((TiO2) and (SiO2)(, were investigated. The mechanical, physical, miscibility and morphology tests were studied Moreover, buckling analysis of nanocomposite plates with cutout was investigated including the effect of design parameters such as cutout shape, size, position, direction, number of cutouts etc. in addition to the plate aspect ratio on the buckling behavior and comparing the experimental and numerical results. The main conclusion was that the presence of cutout could equally well raise the buckling load just as much as lower it. On the other hand, the experimental results were better than the numerical results with percentage (2.3-8.2%). Nanocomposite plates are utilized as underlying parts in aviation, auto and marine designing constructions. Patterns are generally set up as access ports in electrical and mechanical structures or only for decreasing weight.

Abstract
The aim of this investigation is to study the impact response of fibre metal laminates (FMLs) based on S-glass/ PEKK composite and aluminum sheets (2024-T3). Initially, the effect of the temperature excursion of the processing cycle on the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy is investigated. A number of fibre metal laminates based on an aluminum alloy and glass fibre/PEKK composites are then manufactured and subjected to quasi-static testing and impact loading. Finite element analyses are then developed to predict the perforation impact of these FMLs and subsequently validated using the obtained experimental data.

Abstract
The aim of the research is to study the capacitive properties of graphene with polymer materials. The work included the preparation of graphene in two different methods (two-dimensional graphene and three-dimensional graphene structure) with the preparation of two different types of nanocomposites (graphene/epoxy) and (graphene/polyurethane) by weight (1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3% wt, and 4 wt%) all prepared graphene materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman Spectroscopy. The (LCR) results showed that the addition of graphene to the polymer enhances the capacitive properties due to the graphene nanosheets resemble a micro capacitor was composed of nano capacitors.

Abstract
The main purpose of this work is to extend the service life of the heat exchanger by protecting the tubes by coating to reduce the fouling phenomenon and increase the corrosion resistance of these tubes, small samples were coated with epoxy and WO3 nanoparticles in different proportions, and these samples were subjected to a number of tests to study their properties before and after coating. Then the heat exchanger experiments of the uncoated tube, the epoxy coated tube and the epoxy and 1 wt% of WO3 nanoparticles were carried out to study the performance of the heat exchanger. The results proved that the tube coated with the nanocomposite coating is the most successful in reducing the expected problems.
