Abstract

The study aimed to improve and reduce bacterial growth and environmental pollution by using ceramic nanoparticles powders included in cement mortar. Cement mortar modified by Nano-Composite Powders (NCPs) was fabricated in order to study the effect imposed by these NCPs on the biological, physical and mechanical properties. The NCPs that were used in this study are (CuO-MgO, CuO-ZnO, and CuO-CoO). These NCPs were prepared by the sol gel method. The results show CuO-MgO, CuO-ZnO and CuO-CoO NCPs give improvement in the physical, mechanical and biological properties to a greater extent than the control cement mortar without NCPs and specifically anti-bacteria and toxicity property.

After the discussion, the committee recorded its notes on the thesis, which were split between explanation and correction, and the student’s defense of her work and the discussion ended. The committee decided to evaluate the thesis and grant the student a doctorate degree with a full grade.

The chairperson of the Psychological Guidance and Educational Guidance Committee, Prof. Dr. Wafa'a Mahdi Saleh, a facility staff  in the Department of Materials Engineering with a number of female students in The Dorms, on Wednesday 16/11/2021. The meeting was attended by the Director of The  Dorms, Dr. Mohannad Najah Jawad,  Dr. Sura Salem Ahmed, the chairperson of the Psychological Guidance and Educational Orientation Committee listened to the problems, obstacles and difficulties facing female students inside and outside the department. Mohannad Najah and Ms. Prof. Wafa'a Mahdi Promised  to solve all the difficulties facing the students, and on the other hand, Prof. Wafa'a Mahdi stressed the need to adhere to the university’s instructions, including the commitment to Dress Code the appropriate dress in which  reflects the identity of the university’s students, and the commitment to preventive Safety Measures to preserve the health and safety of female students.

Abstract
   This work aims to use the Fused Deposition Modeling technique, which is one of the three-dimensional printing techniques to manufacture samples of a composite material with a polymeric basis of (ABS) reinforced with glass fibers and carbon fibers separately in different weight ratios (1%, 2 %, 3%, 4%) for the purpose of studying the effect of fiber content and type on the mechanical and physical properties of the manufactured part. The work methodology included the use of the Taguchi method in designing experiments and the MOORA technique to obtain the optimal selection of a number of factors for all characteristics at the same time. The results showed that with the increase of the fiber content, there was a gradual improvement in the mechanical performance, and the highest percentage of improvement in the mechanical properties was achieved when 4% of the fiber content was added, and the physical performance decreased in terms of surface finish.
