Technology of waste polylactide recyclation for 3D print
Kecíková, Alžbeta ; Tocháček, Jiří (oponent) ; Přikryl, Radek (vedoucí práce)
This bachelor thesis deals with the recycling of waste polylactide from the production process and its subsequent use in 3D printing. To optimize the recycling process of polylactic acid, it was recycled with the addition of various additives such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), talc, limestone and chain extenders Joncryl 4368-CS and Raschig Stabilizer 9000. These materials were also investigated with the addition of the acetyl tributyl citrate plasticizer. Samples of the mixtures were prepared on a twin-screw extruder and subsequently a filament was obtained using a single-screw extruder, which was then used for 3D printing by fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology. Temperature towers were printed to obtain optimal processing temperatures for 3D printing. The effect of the additives on the characteristic temperatures and the degree of crystallinity of the PLA was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The effect of the processing on the molecular chain of selected samples was observed by gel permeation chromatography. Furthermore, in the experimental part of the bachelor thesis, the influence of additives on mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, tensile strength and elongation was investigated. The molecular weight was increased due to the chain extenders. Of the particle fillers for the PLA matrix, talc had better mechanical properties than limestone. The greatest effect of the plasticizer was in a mixture with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate).

Preparation of microfiber structures based on PHB copolymer
Kecíková, Alžbeta ; Brtníková, Jana (oponent) ; Přikryl, Radek (vedoucí práce)
Master’s thesis deals with the preparation of microfibrous structures based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) and its copolymer with poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) using centrifugal spinning technology. The microfibers were modified by the addition of oligomer P3HB and a plasticizer. The centrifugal spinning process was optimized for each material by solution viscosity, polymer molecular weight, speed of spineret, and presence of solvent. One of the part of optimalization was the addition of formic acid and acetic acid to the dissolution system. Microfibrous structures have been investigated in terms of morphology, mechanical properties, wetting and biocompatibility. P3HB fibers were also surface treated with lipase solutions to reduce their hydrophobicity. The prepared bulky fiber cocoons have a suitable 3D microstructure for monitoring and testing biological properties in vitro. Thus, a potential application of microfiber structures is as 3D cell culture carriers in an scaffolds in vitro system.
