Synthesis and propersties of organo-silicate binders for titania nanoparticulate layers
Svoboda, Tomáš ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (referee) ; Dzik, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the synthesis of an organosilica polymer which could be used as a binder for titanium dioxide photocatalytic layers. The main reason for incorporating the binder into the photocatalytic layers is not only the improving of the mechanical properties, but above all, the binder could help with production of low-temperature photocatalytic layers, that could be applied to heat-sensitive materials such as plastic materials. This could create layers on flexible materials that could be easily made into any shape. The work focuses on the synthesis of organosilica polymer from the organosilica precursor and subsequent characterization of the binder. Surface tension, viscosity, density, XRD, thermal analysis of silica binder solutions was performed. Titanium dioxide compositions with this binder were prepared, then they were printed and the layers were treated with UV and plasma. Treated layers were examined by FT-IR and a voltamperometric characterization was performed.

Preparation and testing of large titanium dioxide layers
Maršálek, Blahoslav ; Kočí,, Kamila (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor theses was testing of mechanical and photocatalytical properties on printing suspension with different composition of the titanium dioxide with organosilicate binder printed on the PET foil. The cross-cut test was used to evaluate mechanical properties of the printed film surface. The photocatalytic activity was tested by decomposition of the acid orange 7 as a model pollutant using the UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Based on the results from experiments, the formal rate constants and the parameters of the mechanical stability of surfaces were obtained. The results shoved, that there is a clear correlation between the rate of organosilicate and titanium dioxide – the more is titanium dioxide, the higher is photocatalytic activity, but lower mechanical stability of the printed surface, what is probably caused by covering of titanium reaction centers by organosilicate. Possibilities of enhancing photocatalytic efficiency of the titanium dioxide and organosilicate composition are also discussed in this thesis.
