Abstract
The aim of the research is to fabricate polystyrene polymeric membranes by electrospinning technique followed by the chemical modification by sulfonation reaction. Sulfonation reaction was done by sulfuric acid as a sulfonation agent at two concentrations (98% and 20%), so the membranes gain proton conductivity properties as well as ion exchange capacity. The membranes would be able to use as a solid electrolyte in proton exchange membranes fuel cells.
The thesis was scientifically evaluated by Prof. Dr. Zuhair Jabbar Abdul Karim / Karbala University / College of Engineering, and linguistically by /Lec. Dr. Qusay Fadel Hassan / University of Technology / Department of Control and Systems Engineering.
The thesis discussion was conducted in a scientific atmosphere and a master's degree with grade of pass was awarded to the student after the completion of all the corrections that have been decided by the examiners.
On Sunday and Monday 23-24/ 8/2020 at 4 pm, Seminars were held by the Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology for MSc students to discuss their research and in the presence of the supervisors and some of academic staff members. It was conducted on the google meet.
On Wednesday and Thursday 19-20/ 8/2020 at 4 pm, Seminars were held by the Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology for doctoral students to discuss their research and in the presence of the supervising professors for their research, and each student was allocated 20 minutes (10 minutes for the presentation, and 10 minutes for discussion), It was conducted on the google meet platform.

Abstract
The thesis work deals with the development chitosan (CS) based composite scaffold with improved materials for bone tissue engineering. Chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol scaffolds crosslinked with natural crossliker (genipin) and reinforced with nano hydroxyapatite with different concentrations were successfully prepared by solvent casting and electrospining technique and characteriezed by mechanical , wettability, swelling, degradation, antibacterial activity,in vitro and vivo tests.
The discussion was conducted in a scientific atmosphere, and the student was awarded a doctorate degree with a grade of (Pass) after completing all the amendments that were put forth by the discussants.
