The Department of Materials Engineering discusses a master’s thesis on the manufacture and diagnosis of composite coatings using the electrostatic spraying method. 

I discussed a master's thesis in the Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology tagged

"Fabrication and Characterization of Composite Coating by Electrostatic Spray Method"

The thesis of the student, Ghufran Dhafer Khaled, aimed to increase the resistance of the alloy against corrosion, and to improve the bonding of the bone to the implant by encouraging bone fusion while maintaining its good mechanical properties, by applying a modified coating layer of PMMA-based composites with two bioactive ceramics (hydroxyapatite and titanium carbide). as a reinforcing material using dry electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) under static conditions. The biological behavior of the coated samples was studied by checking the corrosion, antibacterial and wetting properties

The L316 stainless steel alloy has been widely used in orthopedic applications to fix and replace defective bone tissue in the human body. The results showed that homogeneous, uniform, crack-free coating layers were obtained as well as high wettability. In vivo tests proved that in SBF, the coating layers showed a great ability to form apatite crystals on their surfaces indicating good bone conductivity, anti-bacterial and anti-corrosion properties were also observed.

The discussion committee consisted of

Prof.Dr. Alaa Abdel-Hassan Attia, Chairman and membership of each of the Prof. Dr. Rana Sabah Jawad and Prof.Dr. Sir Salem Ahmed and the supervision of each of Prof.Dr. Muhannad Najah Jawad and Prof.Dr.Hana Arir Smeij

As well as evaluating the message scientifically by Prof. Basil Ajeel Abbas from the University of Babylon and senior researcher, Dr. Hussein Mohamed Youssef from the Ministry of Industry and Minerals / State Company for Steel Industries, and linguistically by a professor. Laith Wadah Ismail.
