Controlling of Nanostructure Temperature by Light Absorption
Kovács, Roland ; Schmidt,, Eduard (referee) ; Kalousek, Radek (advisor)
The thesis deals with a new versatile strategy which is aimed to heat up rapidly the nanostructures with the help of a focused light beam utilizing localized plasmons (collective oscillation of electrons). By local heating, the growth of the semiconductor nanowires can be initiated and controlled at any arbitrarily prespecified location down to the single nanostructure level in a chamber at room-temperature. The aim of the work is to study electromagnetic field in the selected structures, especially in metal nanospheres by using numeric calculations and computations of the thermal field in the vicinity of these illuminated nanostructures. Electromagnetic phenomena is simulated in Lumerical and the temperature field in COMSOL.

Nanotechnology utilization in nuclear industry and research
Skalička, Jiří ; Štefánik, Milan (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This thesis introduces reader to current knowledge of nanomaterials and their usage. It summarises production methods and usage of different materials in nuclear power plants, nuclear research and nuclear medicine. Theoretical part of this thesis is dedicated to possible usage of carbon nanotubes for neutron beam collimation and guides. In experimental part different materials were tested in measuring box connected to horizontal radial channel of VR-1 nuclear reactor and their influence on neutron flux was measured. Tested samples were non-oriented carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, alumina nanowires, oriented carbon nanotubes with several angles of rotation and these samples were compared with results of graphite.

Study of preparation and structure of nanofibers of inorganic and organic biomaterials
Ručková, Jana ; Částková,, Klára (referee) ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (advisor)
The aim of this Master’s thesis is to investigate the preparation and structure of nanofibres of inorganic and organic biomaterials. Nanofibres of polycaprolactone, chitosane and their composites with hydroxyapatite particle were prepared by centrifugal force spinning process, which uses centrifugal forces for nanofibres spinning. Designed nanofibres can be used in bone tissue engineering. Experimental activity has started with synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and preparation of polymer solutions and composite suspensions at different concentrations. The solutions and the suspensions were characterized by density and viscosity which were changed in dependence on temperature and polymer concentration. The solutions and the suspensions were spun at varying speeds and using two different sizes of collectors. The dependence of spinneret head revolution speed, size of collectors and polymer concentration on nanofibres diameter was studied. Biological activity of polycaprolactone and hydroxyapatite/polycaprolactone nanofibres was tested by means of SBF.

Determination of additives in multicomponent electrospinning systems
Gajdová, Barbora ; Petr, Knotek (referee) ; Knotková,, Kateřina (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with methods of producing nanofibres from mixture of different polymers. Different methods of preparation and production nanofibres by 4SPIN® are described in theoretical part. Experimental part deals with incorporation of additives into fibred layer. There were four different dyes used in this thesis: brilliant green, erythrosine, riboflavin and eriochrom black. UV – VIS spectrophotometry was used to measure volume of additives in nanofiber layer.

Effect of pH on quantitative determination of additives in nanofibers
Grufíková, Jana ; Marek, Pokorný (referee) ; Knotková,, Kateřina (advisor)
The object of my thesis was to prepare a nanofiber layer with dye additives and to quantify the additive content in dependence on pH. The nanofiber layers with additives were prepared by means of electrospinning. The analysis of the additive content in samples was performed by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Concretely Erythrosine, Eriochrome Black, Riboflavin and Brilliant Blue were analysed. Each of this colors has different chemical structure and charge. The pH was defined by use of buffers, namely acetate buffer (pH 5), phosphate buffer (pH 7,4) and carbonate buffer (pH 10). For Erythrosine and Eriochrome Black the research was extended to study the effect of ionic strength on the quantitative determination of these dyes. It was found that the quantity of the determined additive depends on the pH and also on the ionic strength. However, this dependency is different for each additive. This confirms the assumption of influenced chemical structure and charge by interaction with polymers and buffers used in this experiment. The accuracy of evaluation is influenced by the way of data processing.

Homogenity of aditives in nanofibres
Linha, Vojtěch ; Pokorný,, Marek (referee) ; Knotková,, Kateřina (advisor)
The goal of this thesis was to summarize basic options of fiber spinning and incorporation of additives. Options for nanofiber production by 4SPIN® are described along with particular electrodes for spinning in theoretical part. The experimental part was focused on influence of molecular structure of additives to incorporated volume of the substance. For this research four dye was used: erythrosine, riboflavin, briliant blue and eriochrom black. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used for evaluation of volume of aditives in nanofiber layer.

Semiconductor nanowire growth modelling
Kovács, Roland ; Bartošík, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with modelling of semiconductor nanowires growth. The work describes the mechanism of growth using the VLS method. The main objective is to simulate the distribution of eutectic material in a droplet in the initial stage of growth. Mathematical models describing different situations of material diffusion in the droplet were depeloped. The simulation model is programmed in MATLAB.

Utilization of Nanofibres in the Traditional Ceramics Body
Sedláček, Daniel ; Stančík,, Hynek (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
This thesis summarizes the current knowledge about ceramic composites with nanofibers. So far, most research focused on the reinforcement of hi-tech ceramics, such as carbides and nitrides, however, this traditional ceramics left behind. Due to the improving the efficiency of production of nanofibers and thus a drop in prices, companies consider their use even in a cheaper ceramic materials. Reinforcement of traditional ceramic shard could theoretically improve many characteristics, but there are absolute minimum of practical researches.
