Abstract

Asymmetric ultrafiltration flat sheet membranes were prepared by phase inversion method to produce new hydrophilic membranes from hydrophobic PVC by partially dehydrochlorination process with NaOH solution (1, 3, 5) molarity then grafting copolymerization with acrylamide via grafting-from method. The efficient grafting was at graft 3M membrane as proved by PWF and other related characterization of membranes, also the graft 3M membranes with 3 wt.%PVP  and 1wt% TiO2 display the efficient values

The discussion was conducted in a scientific atmosphere, and the student was awarded a Ph.D. degree with a (Pass ) grade after completing all the modifications that were made by the discussants.

Abstract

Fuel cells are one of important renewable energy sources represent scientific trends of contemporary researches that seek to find better alternatives to solve the negatives of organic fuels and biological damage to humans, environment and atmosphere. The most vital part in hydrogen fuel cells is the cation exchange membranes whose special and critical role. Cation exchange membranes have been prepared and characterized using expanded polystyrene (PS) from waste packaging. The electrospun PS membranes were chemically modified by sulfonation reacti PS membranes were immersed in (20%) diluted sulfuric acid (H2SO4),  Sulfonating reaction successfulness was demonstrated by FTIR investigations.SEM and EDS were used to detect the sulfonating and desulfonating reactions regarding the sulfonating time. Ion-exchange capacity (IEC) and the proton conductivity were reported and discussed with respect to different sulfonation time. IEC increased with increasing the sulfonation time. Obtained results showed that the membrane. The proton conductivities of electrospun membranes increased with increasing sulfonation time. Maximum proton conductivity was  increase

Asst.Prof. Mayada Shanan Abdel / Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology Had  participated in the discussion of the master's student Ayat Sawadi Jassem for her thesis titled "Production of Cellulose acetate from date palm fronds" Which was held in the Department of Biochemical Engineering / College of Engineering Al-Khwarizmi / University of Baghdad on Tuesday, 28/20/2020 The discussion committee was formed from the Ladies and Gentlemen  whose names are listed below:

1. Prof. Ammar Saleh Abbas, chairman
2. Asst. Prof. Dr . Mayada Shanan Abdel as a member

3.Lect.Dr. Muhammad Yaqoub Issa as member

4.Asst. Prof. Dr. Shatha Kazem Abdel-Latif as Member, Supervisor

5.Asst.Prof. Dr. Assem Hassan Mohamed, Member - Supervisor

Abstract

Biopolymers (cellulose Tri- and Di- acetate) were produced from fronds of date palm trees (type teperzol) which were taken from the Iraqi groves. One part of the fronds known as stalk was used in this study to produce cellulose acetates.

The discussion was conducted in a scientific atmosphere, and the student was awarded a master's degree with a grade of (Pass ) after completing all the modifications that were made by the discussants.
