The influence of regranulate on structure and properties of high density polyethylene
Handlíř, Tadeáš ; Poláček, Petr (referee) ; Bálková, Radka (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with the evaluation of the influence of the addition of 30, 60 and 90 % of recycled material on the structure and mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), where recycled material represents both HDPE from a several years old part and material multiple reprocessed by extrusion. The changes of supramolecular structure were examined by calorimetric measurement, which did not indicate degradation of the material due to multiple extrusion. Mechanical properties were investigated by tensile tests and dynamic-mechanical analysis. Both measurements showed the same trend, where the first and second pass of the material through the extruder led to improved mechanical properties, e.g. to increase stiffness, while the influence of the third and fourth passes through the extruder had not a significant effect on the mechanical properties. In terms of the structure and mechanical properties, a positive effect of the combination of material after the second extrusion passing (30%) with virgin material was recorded.

Evaluation of corrosion properties of biodegradable ZE41 magnesium alloy in simulated body fluid
Handlíř, Tadeáš ; Minda, Jozef (referee) ; Tkacz, Jakub (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the evaluation of the effect of processing of biodegradable magnesium alloy ZE41 on its corrosion properties. The corrosion properties of ZE41 wrought magnesium alloy specimens with polished and ground surface were evaluated based on the results of the electrochemical characteristics that took place in the simulated body fluid. Short-term tests were performed using linear polarization method, by which the corrosion potential, corrosion current density and corrosion rate was determined. Long-term evolution of corrosion behavior in terms of polarization resistance was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) during 168 hours. Also, the corrosion products were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the results, the influence of surface treatment and phase composition on corrosion characteristics was evaluated.
