In 28/1/2018, - On 28/1/2018 was discussed graduate student (master) Mustafa Thaer Hassan for his thesis titled “Manufacturing ideal material for exterior construction applications” had been discussed by commit which consist of following members.

The thesis had been scenically evaluated by Assist. Prof. Dr. Ziena  K. Abbas,  Baghdad University/ Department Civil Engineering, and Linguistically by Assist. Prof. Dr. Samir A. Amen, University of Technology/ Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The discussion took place at higher studies hall / building C, and master degree had been granted to student. 

The thesis discusses preparation nano materials by thermo-chemical spray method, where mono, and tri metallic oxides had been prepared, (zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, and aluminum oxide), from basic solutions with different molarity, (0.005, 0.1, 0.5), by spray at 750 Cº. The prepared powders had been tested by x-ray, Scanning electron microscope, particles size analyses, addition to densities which tested according to Archimedes theory. The prepared powders used to promote cement mortar characteristics, the base specimens was (1:2.75), cement to sand ratio. Nano powdersadded with different weight fraction, (1%, 2%, and 3%), at different particles sizes, (11.8،38.8،109.8) nm. The tests include viscosity and other: physical, thermal, and mechanical properties after (7) days.

The results show improving of properties for all specimens, consequently nano powders of these materials can be used to improve cement mortar used in external application like cover external walls of building and other external construction applications. 

Students of the first stage, begun performing the finally exams of the first course of (2017-2018) academic year, in 11/2/2018. Assist Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Hasan,the dean of college,followed up the exams personally, to ensure of providing all necessary requirements to perform exams inside halls.

On 10/1/2018 2018 a seminar presented by Asst.Prof Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Hussein Mohamed Faculty staff at the Materials Engineering Department / University of Technology to participate in the TMREES Conference Series, to be held in early February in Beirut, Lebanon. (The use of the bubble column reactor and the CFD simulation for the polyethylene recycling of polyethylene terephthalate)  was discussed. The research dealt with the use of the bubble column reactor and the natalite catalysis technology in the dismantling of polymerization of plastic water bottles and the production of polyethylene terephthalate monomer and its use in improving asphalt as a coating of concrete to increase mechanical and thermal resistance and cohesion Reduce water absorption.

On 22/1/2018 a Seminar was presented by Wafa Mahdi Saleh Teaching at the Materials Engineering Department / University of Technology Semner Scientific in order to participate in the scientific conference marked: (TMRESS Confrence Series) to be held in early February in Beirut - Lebanon. The study dealt with the effect of some mechanical properties of an overlapping material (polyester supported by various natural fibers - palm fiber, natural fiber, cecil plant and cannabis plant) and then treated I am chemically treated with NaOH by 10% and then comparing the results to the overlapping material with and without the chemical treatment of the fiber.

On 25/1/2018, the graduate student (master) Sara Abdel-Salam Hattab had discussed her thesis:(Polymer coating connector to reduce the risk of corrosion)The discussion committee consisted of the listed gentlemen

1. Asst.Prof.Emad Saadi Abdulkareem  University of technology\Department of Materials Engineering  Head of committee
2. Asst.Prof. Bissam Ibrahim Khalil  University of technology\Department of Materials Engineering. Member
3. Dr. Hussein Mohammed Yosef Ministry of Industry and Metals \ Member
4. Prof. Rana Afif Anani University of technology\Department of Materials Engineering Supervisor
5. Asst.Prof. Waf’a Mahdi Saleh University of technology\Department of Materials Engineering Supervisor

The thesis addressed the possibility of using both the inhibitors with the coating to obtain a thin and homogeneous coating layer of the non-pyrolymol polymer and with the amalgamation of organic and inorganic amines on carbon steel (St 44-2-DIN 17100) by electrochemical polymerization of the pyrolymol monomer and the possibility of improving corrosion resistance in the water medium Saline (3.5% sodium chloride) at different temperatures (293, 303, 313, 323 and 333)Kelvin. was studied,the structure and morphology of polymerized pyrolyle strata was studied using electron microscopy (SEM), AFM, FTIR spectroscopy and adhesion examination.
Scanning electron microscopy images showed the structure and morphology of the polypearol layer deposited on carbon steel. In general, the distribution of pyrolytes and saplings covers the surface on a regular basis. The variation of surface morphology is due to the composition of the cauliflower. While the images of the atomic force microscope showed the best growth of polypirol fibers, the morphology and roughness of the surface were also estimated from the atomic force microscope examination. Polysaccharides in organic anions cause little change in surface morphology. The polysaccharide polycrystalline polysaccharide is indicated

he results obtained from this study were shown by different corrosion-labeling techniques for carbon steels indicating the proposed insoluble polyol polyol for use as a conductive polymer and for optimal protection against erosion in seawater (3.5% NaCl solution). Prompt in industrial application, environmentally friendly and chemically stable
The thesis was evaluated scientifically by Prof. Dr.Awda Jabbar Breehi / University of Babylon / Faculty of Engineering and linguistics by AMD. Samir Ali Amin / University of Technology / Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The discussion was held at the Graduate Hall / Building C and the discussion committee was granted a Master's degree for the student.
