I hold Ph.D. degree in polymers engineering, M.Sc. degree in polymers engineering, and B.Sc. degree in materials engineering. My experience extends to eighteen years of working with materials (especially polymers) in order to improve their characteristics. My research interests in flame retardancy of polymers and composites, materials testing, materials processing, and rubber technology.

A novel method for determining the level of dehydrochlorination, that is, the conversion of degradation from the conductivity curve of plasticized Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) containing heavy metal‐free agent, has been used. The novel method was introduced in this article to evaluate the thermal stability of PVC by dehydrochlorination that shows more reproducibility for measured results than the standard method, which depends on the conductivity only. The novel method was used to measure thermal degradation in a new generation of thermal stabilizing heavy metal‐free additive added to plasticized PVC, which is Oxydtron (a nanocement additive). Plasticized PVC containing Oxydtron is our new candidate to replace conventional stabili

Show MoreThis work intends to develop an effective heavy metal-free modifier having properties comparable to traditional stabilizers and flame retardants, simultaneously being environmentally friendly and may be superior in many aspects. The important requirement focused on is: how to increase thermal stability and flame retardancy of flexible poly(vinyl chloride). Due to the typical materials now used with poly(vinyl chloride), which increases health and environmental concerns, utilizing a novel heavy metal-free additive will make poly(vinyl chloride) substantially safer. We have used an artificial silicate for this aim, which proved to be an efficient flame retardant and surprisingly showed excellent heat stabilizing effect. Thermal stabi

The current study introduces a novel method for calculating the stability time by a new approach based on the conversion of degradation from the conductivity curve results obtained by the conventional method. The stability time calculated by the novel method is shorter than the time measured by the conventional method. The stability time in the novel method can be calculated by the endpoint of the tangency of the conversion curve with the tangent line. This point of tangency represents the stability time, as will be explained in detail. Still, it gives a clear and accurate envisage of the dehydrochlorination behavior and can be generalized to all types of polyvinyl chloride compared to the stability time measured by conventional ones based
