th
8 Biannual Conference on Chemistry - CHEM 08

Since August 2010, I was appointed as Emeritus

Professor of Polymer Chemistry, at the Faculty of Science,
Cairo University. I got my B.Sc. degree in Applied Chemistry
in 1971 with grade Distinction and Honor degree from Cairo

University. After completing my Ph.D. degree in 1979, in the
field of Polymer Chemistry, I was appointed as lecturer of

polymer chemistry at the Faculty of science, Cairo university,
then associate professor and finally as professor of polymer

chemistry in 1991. During my scientific career , I attained two
postdoctoral fellowship, the first at Prague Institute of
Chemical Technology (1981-1982) and the second at Tokyo

Institute of Technology (1983-1984). Moreover, I attained a
training course in polymer physics at Trieste, Italy during
April-May 1987. I published 130 research articles and one
Prof. Magdy review article in international Journals, five book chapters

W. Sabaa along with 18 publications in proceeding of National and
International conferences. Moreover, I was a co-editor for a
book , published by Springer in 2013. I have supervised more
Professor of Polymer
than 63 M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses all in the field of polymer
Chemistry, at the chemistry. I am a reviewer in more than 20 international

Faculty of Science, scientific journals, I am a member in the Arab Society of
Material Sciences and in the Egyptian Society of Polymer
Cairo University,
Science and Technology. I was a member of the Promotion
Egypt.
Committee for the job of Professors and Assistant Professors
for the Atomic Energy Autority (2014 - 2017) and I got the
Cairo University Award for Scientific Excellence in the field of
Basic Sciences for the year 2014.
My main research activities are in the field of polymer degradation and stabilization,
graft copolymerization, preparation of polymer hydrogels and SI-hydrogels, super
absorbing materials, water treatment, biodegradable polymers, synthesis of novel
powder coatings, synthesis and characterization of rubber/clay nanocomposites and in
the synthesis of polymers with antimicrobial and antitumor activities.
