Award a book of thanks
The President of the University of Technology awarded a book of thanks and appreciation to two teaching staff from the department of Materials Engineering.
The honorable president of the University of Technology “Prof Dr. Ahmed M. H. Al-Ghaban” awarded a book of thanks and appreciation to Prof. Dr. Emad S. Al- Hassani, Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatimah Jaafar Al-Hassani from the department of Materials Engineering/University of Technology, due to their distinguished efforts in achieved a patent, according to book No. T.N.A/252 dated 14/3/2021.
The title of patent: “Improvement the Osseointegration Properties of Dental Implants by natural polymers (Chitosan)”.
Abstract:
Modifications achieved by coatings titanium implant samples prepared by powder technology technique with ceramic powders in order to improve their surface characteristics so as to facilitate bio- integration. The coating process of ceramic powders was carried out (pack cementation), the result showed that Nano zirconia & yatria was homogeneously distributed on the surface and completely covered it which resulted in significant change in surface morphologies.
