Processing and properties of porous bioceramic materials
David, Jakub ; Ručková, Jana (referee) ; Novotná, Lenka (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the study of bioceramic porous materials. The theoretical part is divided into three parts. The first part describes biomaterials, their division and use in bone tissue engineering. The second part deals with the requirements of bioceramic support systems (scaffolds). The third section describes methods for the porous structures production. The effort of the practical part was to prepare by method of direct foaming bioceramic porous materials based on calcium phosphate. It studied mainly the affect of the suspension composition on the final properties of the synthesized material. Morphology of materials was also evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. Degradability of materials in simulated body fluid was tested in terms of biological properties.

Bioceramic Materials for Advanced Medical Applications
Novotná, Lenka ; Lapčík,, Lubomír (referee) ; Drdlíková, Katarina (referee) ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (advisor)
Cílem disertační práce bylo připravit trojrozměrné biokeramické podpůrné systémy („skafoldy“), které by v budoucnu mohly pomoci při rekonstrukci a regeneraci poškozených kostních tkání. Porézní keramické pěny byly připraveny dvěma způsoby – replikační technikou a polymerizací in situ. Co se složení týče, byly studovány keramické materiály zejména na bázi oxidu hlinitého, zirkoničitého a kalcium fosfátů. Byl studován jednak vliv procesních parametrů jako je složení suspenzí a jejich viskozit, dále pak vliv tepelného zpracování na strukturu a výsledné vlastnosti připravených materiálů. U slinutých pěn byla pomocí rastrovací elektronové mikroskopie hodnocena zejména morfologie – velikost pórů, jejich propojenost a celková porozita, charakterizace mikrostruktury nebyla opomenuta. Dále bylo stanoveno fázové složení a pevnost v tlaku. Z biologických vlastností byla testována a diskutována bioaktivita a cytotoxicita materiálů. Disertační práce je členěna do několika částí. V literární rešerši je popsána stavba a vlastnosti kosti, požadavky kladené na kostní náhrady, výhody a nevýhody současně používaných materiálů a způsoby přípravy keramických pěn. Následuje experimentální část, kde byly nejprve studovány pěny připravené replikační technikou. Všechny takto vyrobené pěny měly propojené póry o velikostech 300 až 2000 m, celková porozita se pohybovala v rozmezí 50 – 99 %. Pevnost pěn na bázi kalcium fosfátů – 0,3 MPa (při celkové porozitě 80%) byla nedostatečná pro kostní náhrady, kde je požadována pevnost větší než 2 MPa. Kalcium fosfátové keramiky byly tedy zpevněny buďto inertním jádrem na bázi oxidu hlinitého nebo ATZ (oxidem zirkoničitým zhouževnatělým oxidem hlinitým). Dále byl přípraven částicový kompozit, ve kterým byl hydroxyapatit pojený oxidem křemičitým. Pevnost pěn se podařilo zvýšit až na více než 20 MPa. V poslední kapitole experimentální části byly studovány keramické pěny pěněné in situ, kde byly póry vytvářeny oxidem uhličitým unikajícím během reakce mezi diisokyanátem a polyalkoholem. Po vypálení polymerního pojiva měly pěny propojené póry o průměrné velikosti 80 až 550 m. Celková porozita se pohybovala v rozmezí 76 – 99%. Výhodou oproti replikační technice byly plné trámečky bez velké středové dutiny vznikající vypálením polymerní předlohy. Žádný ze studovaných materiálů nebyl pro buňky toxický, navíc všechny studované pěny vykazovaly bioaktivní chování. Z hlediska kostního tkáňového inženýrství se jako nejslibnější jeví kompozitní materiál zpevněný oxidem křemičitým.

Propagation of inclined cracks to the interface of ceramic laminates
Novotná, Lenka ; Trunec, Martin (referee) ; Chlup, Zdeněk (advisor)
Composite materials with laminated structure provide advantages which are utilised during component design. Low density, temperature and chemical stability are the profitable properties predetermining application of ceramic laminates. The main obstacle for wide spread of ceramic materials is their inherent brittleness. Therefore, in this thesis, the crack propagation in ceramics laminates has been extensively studied. Laminated structures with various volume fractions of components (alumina and zirconia) were prepared by electrophoretic deposition. Evaluation of crack propagation through the interface and determination of basic mechanical properties was conducted on the basis of extensive literature search. Crack deflection originated in both presence of internal stresses and differences in elastic modulus during the crack interface passing was monitored. A special type of specimen geometry was employed with the aim to set arbitrary angle between crack and interface. It was experimentally found that the degree of crack deflection is dependent on entering angle and volume fraction of components. Higher crack deflection was already found in the bulk of the test piece comparing to the test piece surface. The 3D fracture surface reconstruction generated using laser confocal microscopy was used in this detailed crack propagation study. Further basic elastic and strength characteristics of laminates were determined and compared to those obtained from monolithic materials. The validity of the mix rule for elastic characteristics was confirmed by comparing of elastics modulus. The most reliable method for elastic modulus determination was marked the dynamic resonance method due to low scatter and consistency in measurement. The flexural strength of all laminates tends to be close to the flexural strength of the weakest component. Therefore the mix rule is not applicable for flexural strength estimation on the contrary of elastic characteristics. The change of component volume fraction leads only to change of flexural strength scatter. Thanks to gained knowledge about crack propagation and basic characteristic determination will be possible to design ceramic laminates more efficiently for given needs of application.

Ceramic materials applied in medicine - challenges and opportunities
Vitásek, Ladislav ; Sláma, Martin (referee) ; Novotná, Lenka (advisor)
This thesis deals with ceramic materials applied in medicine, mainly in orthopaedics and dentistry. The first part is focused on requirements and current state of biomaterials in bone tissue engineering and their advantages and disadvantages. Composite materials, where ceramic material is one component at least, are mentioned in the next part. Dense ceramics based on alumina and toughened zirconia is described in the separate part. The main part of this thesis deals with porous ceramic materials based on calcium phosphates. There are also defined scaffolds requirements such as porosity, mechanical and biological properties and moreover processing methods. The experimental part of this thesis has been devoted to the preparation of bioactive porous ceramic material based on hydroxyapatite and silica with improved properties. Samples with different amount of silica in structure (6-21 wt%) were fabricated by polymer replica technique. Prepared scaffolds with structure similar to cancellous bone can be promising candidates for using in bone tissue engineering applications.

Study of bioceramic materials for dental applications
Lokvenc, Martin ; Matoušek, Aleš (referee) ; Novotná, Lenka (advisor)
This thesis deals with bioceramics used in dentistry. The biocompatibility, which is the characteristic property of biomaterials, is described in the opening chapter of the thesis. Advantages and disadvantages of advanced ceramics are also discussed. The main attention was paid particularly to the dental bioceramics, which can be divided according to different criteria. The used classification was based on microstructure, which significantly influences behaviour and properties of biomaterials. The ceramic is viewed as a composite material, where the glass matrix is filled with different amount of crystal phase. The thesis also includes the use of the individual types of bioceramics for the manufacture of dental restorations.

Bioceramic Materials and Their Biocopatibility with Bone Tissues
Novotná, Lenka ; Trunec, Martin (referee) ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis concerns the study of ceramic coatings of zirconia nanoparticles deposited on alumina, zirconia and glass substrates by ultrasonic spraying. The quality of deposits was investigated in dependence on the type of substrate (composition, temperature, roughness) and concentration of ceramic suspension. The best results were received by the deposition of suspension of low concentration on rough substrates at low temperatures. The biocompatibility was tested in vitro. Good cytocompatibility of ceramics with nanostructure coatings was found.
