Study of gel electrolytes properties by MR methods
Mrnka, Michal ; Gescheidtová, Eva (referee) ; Bartušek, Karel (advisor)
Theoretical part of the work deals with explanation of nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon, relaxation processes in system of nuclear spins, basic techniques for measurement of relaxation times. There are described diffusion and techniques for diffusion coefficient measurement including method for suppressing the background gradient. Experimental part describes preparation of gel electrolytes samples and measurement of relaxation times. Sodium salt was used as a conductive agent. There is interpreted dependence of relaxation times on polymerization times and on concentration of conductive agent in gels.

Measurement of Dialyser-Membrane Diffusion Coefficient
Kašák, Pavel ; Bartoš, Michal (referee) ; Jiřík, Radovan (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the measurement of diffusion coefficient of dialysis membrane. The first part describes possibilities of membrane modelling. Basic models, which allow us to determine the basic characteristics of dialysis membranes like permeability and diffusion coefficient, are described. Next chapter deals with basic types and properties of membranes. The main part focuses on making the experimental installation, which is used to simulate permeance of contrast agent, used in DCE-MRI, through dialysis membrane. The last theoretical chapter describes calculations used to estimate diffusion coefficient. Practical part of this thesis uses a designed experimental installation for estimation of diffusion coefficient for two contrast agents Gadovist® and Multihance®.

Assessment of diffusion coefficient
Mikeš, Petr ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Míča, Ivan (advisor)
Most acoustic measurements and parameters provided by a manufacturer of acoustic elements, which are offering additional solutions to room acoustics as well as acoustic construction works, are mainly limited to the parameters associated with absorption of individual elements. Until now, these diffusional elements have been neglected. Diffusi- onal panels are used to e.g. eliminate direct reflection of sound waves to the listener or reflection of sound waves concentrated at one point. Combination of absorptive acoustic panels and diffusion elements results in a space that is customised to the submitter’s needs.

Reactivity-mapping studies on biopolymers in hydrogel forms
Smilek, Jiří ; Kislinger, Jiří (referee) ; Sedláček, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the study of interactions between biopolymers and model probes in a hydrogel media utilizing diffusion processes. The main aim was to test and to optimize selected combination of diffusion methods (diffusion cells and unsteady diffusion) in study of interactions between biopolymers and organic dyes. Anionic (humic acids) and cationic (chitosan) representatives of biopolymers were utilized and methylene blue and methylene orange were used as a reactivity probe in the case of humic acids and chitosan, respectively. Another appreciable part of the work is represented by in-depth characterization of applied biopolymers and hydrogel samples by a wide range of analytical and physico-chemical methods (rheometry, UV-VIS, FT-IR etc.). Besides particular experimental results on studied systems, the diploma thesis provides both theoretical and practical background for subsequent applications of the innovative and full-automated method for reactivity mapping of biopolymers.

DLS microrheology to study gelation of polymer
Píšová, Denisa ; Smilek, Jiří (referee) ; Hnyluchová, Zuzana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of gelation process on model polymer through DLS microrheology. As the model polymer was used agarose and for microrheological measurement were used polystyrene particles. Agarose samples of various mass concentrations were studied through dynamic light scattering. Measured data were used to create graphs of MSD against time which were compared to MSD curves and error bars. The values of diffusion coefficients for all samples and each temperature were also compared.

A new method of estimation of diffusion characteristics in ternary systems
Čermák, Jiří ; Rothová, Věra ; Gazda, Aleš
A method was proposed based on an estimation of components of diffusion matrix, Dij, in ternary systems. It makes possible to obtain the concentration dependence of DijŽs in a wide range of concentrations using one diffusion couple only. It is in contrast to the conventional procedure that needs two diffusion couples and provides DijŽs for a single composition related to an intersection of diffusion paths. The method was applied to gammaŽ one-phase interdiffusion in Ni3Al-X (X = Cr, Fe, Nb, Ti) in temperature interval 1173 ů 1533 K.
