Clay minerals in polymeric materials
Zaťko, Petr ; Sluková, Michaela (referee) ; Krmíček, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the clay minerals as fillers in polymer materials and their polymer/clay nanocomposites. The thesis brings an introduction to the structure of polymers and clay minerals and their application in polymer materials. The practical part of the thesis deals with testing the diffusivity of CO2 through the film made of recycled polyvinyl butyral with fillers Nanofil®5, Dellite® 67 and Cloisite® 93A and their comparison with reference samples from recycled PVB without added fillers and commercial films of extruded PVB.

Testing of polymeric materials under climatic conditions of Antarctica
Mičkal, Petr ; Sluková, Michaela (referee) ; Krmíček, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis generally deals with polymer materials and evaluates the possibility of testing their resistance to extreme climates of Antarctica. Described herein are various polymer materials, their characteristics, structure, properties and more thorough and detailed descriptions of selected polymers. The next section describes the basic types of degradation these polymers are exposed to, when facing the extreme conditions of the Antarctic climate. The practical part contains evaluations of tests made on the degraded polymer materials that were collected in Antarctica during the southern Antarctic season of 2013-2014 by Ing. Bc. Pavel Kapler, Ph.D, who is a superintendent at the Czech scientific station JG Mendel.

Petrogenesis and evolution of the Davle Volcanic Complex
Santolík, Václav ; Ackerman, Lukáš (advisor) ; Krmíček, Lukáš (referee)
The Davle Volcanic Complex (DVC) situated in the Teplá-Barrandian unit (TBU) of the Bohemian Massif, is considered as a Neoproterozoic-Cambrian magmatic arc that developed on the northern active margin of Gondwana supercontinent during Cadomian accretionary orogeny. This study combines data obtained from fieldwork, petrography, rock-forming mineral microanalysis, major and trace element analysis, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic systematics and U-Pb zircon geochronology in order to reveal the petrogenesis and evolution of the DVC. At least three-stage metamorphism including Cadomian seafloor alteration, Variscan regional metamorphism as well as contact metamorphism related to the emplacement of the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex affected the DVC. The studied rocks follow calc-alkaline trend whereas tholeiitic trend previously reported is rather related to younger magmatic events. The northern part of the DVC is dominated by felsic subvolcanic (plagiogranite), volcanic (dacite- rhyolite) and pyroclastic (dacitic-rhyolitic tuffs and breccias) rocks with a few outcrops of basaltic andesite-andesite pillow lavas documenting the subaqueous activity of the DVC. These rocks are Na-rich, but K-poor, the plagiogranite contains albite most likely primary in origin, and exhibit highly radiogenic εNd values (~ +6 to +11),...

Highly siderophile element and Re-Os isotopic geochemistry of carbonatites and associated alkaline rocks from selected occurrences in India
Polák, Ladislav ; Ackerman, Lukáš (advisor) ; Krmíček, Lukáš (referee)
Carbonatites are intrusive and extrusive rocks with content of carbonate minerals > 50% predominantly derived from upper mantle. They represent a potential economical source for platinum- group elements as can be seen on actively mined sites like Phalaborwa in South Africa or Ipanema in Brazil. The first complete dataset for highly siderophile element (HSE) abundances along with their 187 Os/188 Os compositions for carbonatites, silicocarbonatites and associated alkaline rocks (pyroxenite, syenite, monzogabbro and tonalite) from two Neoproterozoic (~ 800 Ma) suites from Samalpatti and Sevattur, Tamil Nadu region in south India is presented. The data were obtained by a standard methods in involving decomposition of samples in Carius Tubes, Os separation by CHCl3 following microdistillation and Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd isolation by anion exchange chromatography. The data show that carbonatites from Samalpatti and Sevattur are characterized by very low HSE contents, lower than other mantle-derived mafic melts such as basalts or komatiites. Suprachondritic OsN/IrN ratios might suggest that carbonatites are able to concentrate not negligible amount of Os. Due to high, non-uniform 187 Os/188 Os ratios, we suggest that the source of carbonatitic melts was largely heterogeneous with high contribution of crustal...

Physico-mechanical properties of the system syenite-enclave in the Královec quarry
Umlauf, Jiří ; Sluková, Michaela (referee) ; Krmíček, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on mechanical properties of syenitoids and their mafic microgranular enclaves collected in actively mined quarry Královec near Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou. In overview part of the thesis are described selected methods for determining the physical-mechanical properties of the rocks as well as geology of the studied site. The practical part brings the results and principal conclusions from the measurements of the mechanical properties of these rocks.
