The influence of surface modification of glass fibers on mechanical response of the GF/polyester composite
Janeček, Pavel ; Richtera, Lukáš (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
The diploma thesis is aimed at an influence of surface modifications of fibrous reinforcements on mechanical properties at the fiber-matrix interface in fiber reinforced composites. Glass fibers were used as reinforcements and polyester resin was the matrix. The sample of composite consisted of polymer matrix in a form of cylindrical body placed on bundle of glass fibers. The design of the sample was constructed with respect to results of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The tensile test using a materials testing machine (Zwick) was employed to evaluate adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface. Untreated glass fibers, fibers with commercial sizing, and fibers modified by deposition of plasma polymer film using Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) at different deposition conditions were used for fabrication of composite samples. The fibers and composite samples were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM).

The use of composite materials in civil aviation
Nožička, Radek ; Molliková, Eva (referee) ; Němec, Karel (advisor)
This thesis is written in a research form and it’s focused on the usage of composite materials in civil aviation with the emphasis on the structures of airliners. The first chapter deals with the basic classification of composites and the description of the particular kinds of matrices and reinforcements. The second chapter gives a brief introduction to the history of the usage of composite materials at the airliners, decribes the classification of the aircraft structure, discusses the most widely employed composite materials in aircraft structures and offers an overview of various manufacturing methods.

Mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites for automotive applications
Bayer, Adam ; Žídek, Jan (referee) ; Jančář, Josef (advisor)
Bachelor’s thesis deals with studying mechanical features of fiber composites. As a matrix was chosen PMMA and as reinforcement was chosen glass fabric. Theoretical part sums up contemporary issues of polymer composites in automotive industry such as their production techniques and methods of impregnation. In experimental part were prepared samples by block polymerization of 30 % solution PMMA in monomer with initiator by 65° Celsius warmth oath, when was fabric directly unfolded in pre-polymer solution. On these samples were executed tensile tests by testing device Zwick and these samples were compared with results of theoreticaly calculated values.

History of Materials for Production of Cross-country skis
Ptáček, Ondřej ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Molliková, Eva (advisor)
The present bachelor thesis is of a retrieval type. The first part deals with the development of cross-country skiing and the development of materials and technologies used in the production of cross-country skis from the mid-20th century to the present. It also explains important concepts in terms of design, shape and types of cross-country skis. Additionally, materials for cross-country ski poles are outlined and their differences are discussed. The second part refers to some of the materials used in the manufacture of cross-country skis, or cross-country ski poles. The emphasis is mainly laid on composite materials and matrices. The matrix in composites is reinforced using fibre or other type of filler.

Polymer-cement composites of increased refractoriness
Žůrová, Marcela ; Mončeková, Miroslava (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The subject of the barchelor thesis is the preparation of high-strength polymer – cement composites based on the calcium aluminate cement and polyvinylalcohol. For macrodefect–free (MDF) composites are characterized by low porosity and the absence of microcracks. The main problem of the MDF composites is decreased resistance to water or moisture, with a decrease in strength. These compounds are interesting with its mechanical properties, which are greater than the strength of common materials (wood, glass, PMMA,…). Represent perspective type of material that could be used for construction purposes. The thermal degradation of the polymer, however, there are changes in the structure of the composite and to the deterioration of mechanical properties. This thesis is focused on characterization of the effect of temperature change on the structure, material composition and mechanical properties. The MDF composites were prepared based on calcium aluminate cement, which was gradually replaced by refractory additives. During the work was carried out tests of bending strength at various temperatures. Changes in the composition and structure were characterized by TG – DTA, XRD and SEM analysis.

Development of materials used for downhill skis production
Václavík, Martin ; Jech, David (referee) ; Pavloušková, Zina (advisor)
The submitted thesis is a retrieval type and is concerned with the technologies and materials used in the manufacture of downhill skis with a deeper focus on the last ten years. Examined are materials for the manufacture of ski cores as well as other parts of the ski, and that in terms of comparison of the construction materials and technologies. Listed are basic elements and characteristics of skis, methods of manufacture, materials for the manufacture of individual parts of the skis and, last but not least, the types of skis. The work is eked out with the analysis of several samples of skis, on which were made cuts, they were observed and structures were compared. The aim of this observation was to determine whether the materials found in the practical section corresponds to the information contained in the theoretical part.
