Faculty Member | University of Tripoli | Libya
Dr. Najat Ayyad Ali Abozaid is a dedicated researcher and faculty member at the University of Tripoli, Faculty of Science, specializing in Inorganic Chemistry with a strong focus on the synthesis and characterization of advanced inorganic–organic hybrid materials. Her academic journey, marked by excellence and innovation, demonstrates her commitment to exploring the intersection of materials science, coordination chemistry, and polymer composites for potential environmental and industrial applications. Her master’s research represents a significant contribution to the field of inorganic materials chemistry. It centered on the design, synthesis, and structural characterization of Θ-type zirconium phosphate–crystalline cerium phosphate composites integrated with conductive polymers such as polyaniline (PANI), polyindole (PIn), polycarbazole (PCz), and their corresponding copolymers. These hybrid materials exhibit unique electrical, catalytic, and adsorptive properties, positioning them as promising candidates for applications in catalysis, corrosion inhibition, sensing, and environmental remediation. This groundbreaking work was published in the Journal of Academic Chemistry under the title “Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Θ-Type Zirconium Phosphate–Crystalline Cerium Phosphate/Polyaniline, Polyindole, Polycarbazole, Polyaniline-co-Polyindole, and Polyaniline-co-Polycarbazole Composites.” Expanding on her research expertise, Dr. Abozaid also presented a related study at the New York Congress (2022), focusing on “α-Vanadyl Phosphate–Crystalline Cerium Phosphate Nanocomposite Self-support Polymerization of Aniline, Indole, Carbazole, and Their Co-Monomers.” This work provided valuable insights into the mechanisms of polymer–inorganic interactions and their effects on the physicochemical and catalytic properties of the resulting nanocomposites. Her contributions underscore a strong ability to merge theoretical understanding with experimental precision, driving forward innovations in inorganic and polymer chemistry. Beyond her research, Dr. Abozaid plays a vital role as an educator and mentor, supervising undergraduate chemistry students and assisting in general chemistry laboratory instruction. Her scholarly dedication, teaching commitment, and enthusiasm for scientific advancement make her an inspiring figure in Libyan academia. Combining creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and scientific rigor, Dr. Najat Ayyad Ali Abozaid continues to advance the field of inorganic materials chemistry, contributing to both the scientific community and the development of sustainable material technologies in the region and beyond.
