The Iraqi Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Materials in Issue No. 2, Vol. 17 of 2017, published two research papers on materials engineering, the University of Technology. Assist. Prof. Dr. Akram Rahim Jabr.

The first research (synthetic and magnetic properties of nickel-ferrite nanoparticles) dealt with the microscopic structure of the fiber produced by the electrospine method for solution polymer (PVP) by addition to nickel nitrate and iron nitrate to formation of fiberglass nanometers nickel-ferrite, which were studied using electronic microscopes SEM and X-ray examination and proved a phase transformation from random to syntactic depending on the temperature of the burn as well as the magnetic flux measured by the magnetic vibration scale.

The second research (Nanocomposite membrane from Titanium Dioxide - Nylon 6 to improve the discharge of salts under low pressure for water filtration of nanotubes) . Study the procedure of the electrospine  Nylon 6 with nano-titanium oxide. The membrane had a nanoscale network with a radius of 123 nm and the properties of the contact angle, wetting, mechanical tensile, water purification, antibacterial and salt repellant were improved.
