Sol-gel process using reverse micelles
Lukešová, Magdalena ; Čeppan, Michal (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
Práce popisuje přípravu tenkých transparentních vrstev oxidu titaničitého metodou sol-gel procesu s reverzními micelami, které jsou jedinečným uskupením zajišťujícím uniformní velikost připravených částic. Neionogenní tenzid byl použit jako templát. Pomocí materiálového tisku, tedy specializovanou formou inkoustového tisku, byly připraveny tenké filmy oxidu titaničitého nanesením 1–4 vrstev. Po kalcinaci byly připravené vrstvy oxidu titaničitého charakterizované šířkou zakázaného pásu. Struktura vrstev byla popsána optickou mikroskopií a SEM. Fotokatalytická aktivita byla ověřena oxidační reakcí 2,6-dichlorindofenolu a rozkladem kyseliny stearové, která byla přímo natištěna na vrstvy oxidu titaničitého. Fotoindukovaná změna hydrofility byla studována pomocí měření kontaktního úhlu smáčení vody. Fotokatalytická účinnost připravených filmů rostla s počtem vrstev oxidu titaničitého.

Photocatalytic Activity of Titanium Dioxide Printed Layers
Novotná, Michaela ; Jančovičová, Viera (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
This diploma thesis was focused on the preparation of self-cleaning and photocatalyticaly active titanium dioxide thin films. Transparent and porous thin layers of titanium dioxide were prepared from sol-gel containing titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as precursor with addition polyethylene glycol (PEG). Transparent thin layers of titanium dioxide were also prepared from colloidal solution titanium dioxide. The immobilization of thin titanium dioxide layers was performed by a sol-gel process on the soda lime glasses. Diffusion of sodium cation from soda lime glasses into titanium dioxide layer were blocked. Sol was deposited by printig method – micropiezo deposition. Sol and thin titanium dioxide layers were characterised by the physical-chemical method. For prepared sol viscosity, density and surface tension were measured. Thickness and hydrophilicity of titanium dioxide layers also were studied. The photocatalytic activity of the printed titanium layers were tested via the photocatalytic degradation of the 2,6-dichlorindophenol. The influence of addition PEG into the sol and influence of sol loading was studied. It was found that the addition of PEG into the sol significantly increased the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide layers.

The effect of silver on yeasts photokilling process efficiency
Vrchovecká, Petra ; Pekárková, Jana (referee) ; Veselá, Mária (advisor)
In this diploma thesis, photocatalytic effect of titanium dioxide with addition of silver was described and demonstrated on inactivation of the yeast Candida vini. Titanium dioxide was prepared by sol-gel process and deposited by printing metod on soda-lime glasses. On the deposit of titanium dioxide was added silver in various concentrations which increased effect of TiO2. Inactivation of yeasts was examined by effectiveness of UV light with intensity 170 and 100 W/m2.

Photocatalytic inactivation of yeast in flow reactor
Lipenská, Michaela ; Drbohlavová, Jana (referee) ; Veselá, Mária (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on the photocatalytic effect of titanium dioxide and ultraviolet light. Theoretical part shows the effect of titanium dioxide and aplication in various branches. Antibacterial effect of titanium dioxide iluminated by ultraviolet light was observed in the flow tube reactor on the yeast Hansenula anomala. After adjusting the optimal flow rate experimented with different inicial concentration of yeast cells. To increase desired effect also silver was used in the photocatalytic system. As observed in many previous studies, silver decreases the time needed for killing the microorganisms. The optained date were analysed.

Optical sensor for UV radiation
Třešňáková, Andrea ; Drbohlavová, Jana (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with monitoring of photocatalytic activity on prepared optical sensors for UV illumination. A polymeric matrix was prepared based on the redox dye Acid Red 1, titanium dioxide and calibration agents. The deposition of matrix was done by material printing – roll-to-roll printer – on PET film. This resulted in optical dosimeter for UV illumination. Finally, the validity of the reciprocity law was proved.

Evaluation of Inkjet printout degradation
Blažková, Michaela ; Čeppan, Michal (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the study of inkjet print degradation on handmade paper modified by polymer layer containing light stabilizers and inorganic filler. The polymer layer coated on the medium consisted of polyvinylalcohol, titanium dioxide and light stabilizer. The influence of light promoted degradation and light stabilizers was observed. The experiments were carried out on Q-SUN Xenon Test Chamber device, Model Xe-1-B/S. Colorimetric values of test chart were measured and the influence of different light stabilizers on the color difference between original and faded sample was evaluated.

Photocatalytic inactivation of yeasts
Šupinová, Lenka ; Zita, Jiří (referee) ; Veselá, Mária (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on the study of the effect of ultraviolet radiation and titanium dioxide on the yeast Candida vini. Photocatalytic inactivation of this yeast was performed on various types of titanium dioxide films, which were immobilized on soda lime glasses. Acridine orange was used as a dye to distinguish live and dead yeast cells after certain irradiation time. Live and dead cells emit different light in colour after staining in acridine orange. Candida vini photocatalytic inactivation depends on the amount of titanium dioxide immobilized on glass as well as on the structure of its surface if the lamp intensity remains the same. Kinetics of this photocatalytic process was studied, too.

Optimization depozition variables during material printing of titania coatings
Mlčkovová, Hana ; Králová, Marcela (referee) ; Dzik, Petr (advisor)
This thesis studies the effect of conditions in the printing material layers of titanium dioxi-de sol-gel formulations for the print properties of the resulting films – TiO2, which were pre-pared from a precursor of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP). Thin films were deposited on the printing material soda lime glass and the layer thickness was controlled by repeatedly apply-ing. Prepared films were subjected to observation under an optical microscope, and the thic-kness of the layers was measured by mechanical profilometry.

Monitoring of photocatalytic activity using redox dyes
Uhrová, Ivana ; Drbohlavová, Jana (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with assessment of photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide. The easiest and simultaneously the quickest way is bleaching of indicator ink based on redox dye. The theoretical part contains characteristics of several similar dyes and a description of ink-structure effect on total bleaching speed. The experimental part elaborately describes bleaching of indicator ink based on redox dye 2,6 dichloroindophenol, depending on the number of ink layers on photocatalytic active surface as well as on total amount of glycerol.
