This thesis involves the investigation of the corrosion behaviour of pure aluminium as well as of two of aluminium – base alloys (5052Al and 2024Al)in sodium chloride solution over a temperature range (283 – 323 K) with and without ampicillin (AMP.), cephalexin (CEX.) and amoxicillin (AMOX.) as inhibitors. The results of  electrochemical experimental study revealed that:
1. The current density increases with increasing temperature in the range of  (283-323) K.

    Characterization of some room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as candidates for thermal storage media and heat transfer fluids in thermal applications were investigated.

     In this study two types of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) were prepared based on PVC matrix membrane.First, four ion-selective electrodes for sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) which based on sulfamethoxazole
(SMZ) and tungestophosphoric acid (TPA) ion-paircomplexas the electro-active materials were prepared. Second, six ion-selective electrodes for sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) whichbased on sulfamethoxazole
