A researcher, Sarah Basil Fawzi in the Department of Chemistry discusses her master dissertation entitled Highly Effective Stabilization of Polyvinyl Chloride Films Using Additive Complexes of Omeprazole and Tin under the supervision of Pro.Dr. Imad Al-Sarraj.
The dissertation deals with the preparation of new compounds which are derived from organic tin and the study of their effect on stabilizing commercial polymers that are used in outdoor applications against ultraviolet rays.
The study explains that these compounds are characterized as highly efficient in improving the stability of polymers when they are exposed to sunlight, which extends their lifespan and enhances their resistance making them more important in developing more sustainable materials for external environmental applications.
