Processes of Nanoparticle Formation in Low Temperature Plasma
Brožek, V. ; Mastný, L. ; Moravec, Pavel ; Neufuss, Karel ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Ždímal, Vladimír
This work describes the synthesis of nanoparticles during interaction of several different metals (Ag) or their respective oxides (TiO2, Cr2O3) with oxygen-hydrogen plasma having temperatures above 25000 K. Resulting nanoparticles and/or their aggregates in the size range of 25-300 nm were deposited on metallic targets and/or trapped in the water filters and separated using ultra-centrifugal apparatus. The aerosol spectrometer SMPS 3936 (scanning mobility particle sizer) was used to study the particle size distribution of generated nanoparticles in the size range 14 – 700 nm. In order to extend the measured particle size range towards larger sizes, the APS 3321 spectrometer (aerodynamic particle sizer) with the size range 500-20000 nm was used simultaneously. Both spectrometers were set-up to sample with three minute time resolution. Process conditions and production of inorganic nanoparticles of defined composition are discussed in this work.

AWS Viscometry – Principles and Applications
Wein, Ondřej
Quantitative identification of Apparent wall slip (AWS) effect, accompanying the flow of colloidal dispersions in confined geometries, requires a specific modification of common viscometric methods. Essential distinction between common and AWS viscometry is outlined – including theoretical background, calibration, data acquisition, and downstream data treatment – and demonstrated for a class of rotational viscometers.

Rheology of high viscous food substances
Štern, Petr ; Vlasák, Pavel
Rheological properties of high viscous food substances, mainly of animal origin, greatly influenced their preparation, homogenization and processing. By collagen substances were studied the complex of rheological properties by their processing. We have determined, that the viscoelasticity have the bigger influence that dynamic viscosity.
