 📢 Scientific Engagement – University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa / College of Science As part of the College of Science’s ongoing efforts to promote scientific research and foster an enriching academic environment, Assistant Professor Dr. Shaimaa Hussein Noufal, Dean of the College, participated as a committee member in the master's thesis defense of student Hiba Salman Abdul-Salam. Her thesis was entitled: "Enhancement of Some Physical Characteristics of Metal Oxides Nanoparticles Doped Organic Materials and Applications" 🎓 The research explored the preparation of two nanocomposites—(PS/SiO₂-In₂O₃) and (PS/SiO₂-CeO₂)—using the solution casting method. Various nanoparticle concentrations were studied to evaluate their structural, optical, and electrical properties, with potential applications in gamma radiation shielding and antimicrobial fields. 🌟 Dr. Shaimaa Hussein Noufal contributed valuable insights and constructive critique during the defense session. Her participation reflected her continued commitment to elevating the research standards of postgraduate students and supporting the college’s vision for innovative and applied scientific advancement. 🔍 The study revealed key findings, including: Homogeneous distribution of nanoparticles within the polymer without chemical interaction, as confirmed by FTIR spectra. Enhanced absorption, refractive index, and optical conductivity with increased nanoparticle concentration, along with decreased transmittance and indirect energy gap. Improved electrical properties and increased gamma attenuation coefficients. Notable antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This academic engagement highlights the College of Science’s dedication to supporting groundbreaking research under the guidance of distinguished faculty members—foremost among them, Dean Dr. Shaimaa Hussein Noufal, who continues to drive forward scientific excellence and institutional development.
