Materials Engineering Departmentlecturers obtain a patent for the manufacture and characterization of polymeric mixtures and hybrid Nano composites for use in medical applications

Materials Engineering Department lecturers at UOT, who are( President of the University, Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan al-Ghabban and, Assist. Prof. Dr. Sehama I. Saleh, Dr. Alia H. Abdul Salam from Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Research Center obtained a patente entitled "Manufacture and Characterization of Polymeric Mixtures and Hybrid Nano composites used in Medical Applications as a Cartilage Substitute in the Articular Surface of the Moving Bones"

The patent included the manufacture of polymeric mixtures and some Nano composites and the production of materials used in medical applications as hybrid materials with a high ability to work in special conditions in the human body, as in the process of replacing cartilage and surfaces separating the bone.

The study indicated opening new horizons for using the referred materials as medical materials manufactured according to specifications required for tissue replacement operations.
