Analysis of substances released from composite dental material
Fučík, Jan ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Mravcová, Ludmila (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with a present problem of alternative dental fillings, which should replace amalgam fillings. Although there are health concerns about these alternative materials, especially resin composite fillings raise concerns, because they release potentionally harmful substances into the oral cavity. Accordingly even this medical device subjects various tests before releasing to the commercial market and one of these tests was carried out according to ČSN EN ISO 10993 and available scientific literature in the experimental part of this thesis. The amalgam controversy, substances used for manufacturing of resin dental fillings and analytical methods are described in the theoretical part of the thesis. In the experimental part of the thesis, 30 days long cumulative extraction experiments were carried out into various extraction mediums in order to assess suitability of new dental resin filling from ADM, a.s. by comparison with commercially available dental material from company GC EUROPE N.V. These samples were analysed by LC-MS and the amount of eluted substances from dental composites to extraction medium was quantified.

Diffusivity of humic hydrogels
Král, Jan ; Smilek, Jiří (referee) ; Klučáková, Martina (advisor)
Presented diploma thesis focuses on the study of diffusion of cupric ions in humic acid gels. A total of fifth different standards of humic acids and one sample humic acid prepared from same source as in bachelor's thesis, on which this thesis continues, were used for preparation solutions of humic acids. Thereafter, these solutions were used for preparation of agarose hydrogels, which were necessary in following diffusion experiments. The objective of the work was to compare transport properties of humic standards between themselves and then compare standards with humic acid prepared from same source as in bachelor's thesis. Measure, which was used to determine the transport properties, was comparison of effective diffusion coefficients. Method of instantaneous planar source diffusion was used to compare them. This method was based monitoring temporal evolution of diffusion profiles of cupric ions in humic hydrogels. Copper ions were selected as diffusing medium because of their high affinity and strong bonds to humic acids.

Study of interactions of pigments with biopolymer chitosan
Kolesa, Pavel ; Kalina, Michal (referee) ; Klučáková, Martina (advisor)
This master's thesis was focused on the study of interaction of some organic azo dyes (model diffusion probes) with cationic biopolymer chitosan. This interactions were realized via diffusion processes in hydrogel media based on thermoreversible agarose. The main aim was study of influence of pH of solution on the diffusion process. Interactions of used dyes are based on electrostatic character. The aminogroup of chitosan interacts with the functional group of chosen dyes (anionic sulfonic group) and thus affects the process of diffusion. The model diffusion compounds were chosen organic anionic dyes Chicago sky blue 6B (C.I. 24 410), Sirius red (C.I. 35 780) and Reactive blue 49 (C.I. 621 526). The important content of this diffusion method is a monitoring of the time progression of diffusion profile by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. The presented work follows the bachelor thesis and shows comprehensive view of the reactivity of chitosan and its behavior in different systems. Unsteady diffusion in cuvettes appears to be a universal method for the study of reactivity of biopolymers and for the study of transport processes in hydrogel media. The diffusion method is universal, easy and cheap.

Study on Interconnection between Structure and Rheological Properties of Hydrogels on Macro and Microscopic Level
Lepíková, Jana ; Klučáková, Martina (referee) ; Kalina, Michal (advisor)
Diploma thesis main goal is to obtain new pieces of knowledge about relationship between hydrogel structures and its flow and transport properties. Thesis is mainly focusing on combining pertinent biopolymers into model hydrogels based on agarose. Then perform correlation of results obtained by diffusion methods, and by rheologic measurements on macroscopic and microscopic level. Properties of hydrogels were measured by selected rheologic measurements, dynamic light scattering method, and correlative fluorescence spectroscopy. From these methods various parameters (MSD modules, values of complex viscosity) were obtained. Afterwards transport properties of prepared hydrogels were studied by observing Rhodamine 6G diffusion. Here two different approaches were used. From macroscopic perspective, simple principles of mass diffusion from dye solution to cuvettes filled with hydrogels containing individual biopolymers were used. From microscopic perspective, dye was added during the sample preparation and then the mass diffusion was investigated using FCS. Based on evaluated results it was discovered that added biopolymers don’t influence properties of carrier medium, in this case agarose hydrogels. During the study of prepared hydrogels’ reactivity and barrier properties some differences were observed. Charge of biopolymer and its charge density were discovered as main factors influencing transport of charged solutes into prepared hydrogels.

Diffusion of dyes in biopolymeric hydrogels
Vyroubal, David ; Mravec, Filip (referee) ; Klučáková, Martina (advisor)
This thesis is focused on diffusion of dyes in biopolymer-based hydrogels. These hydrogels are based on interaction between biopolymer-like electrolytes with oppositely charged surfactants. When polyelectrolytes interact with oppositely charged surfactants, micelle-like nano-containers can be formed. These nano-containers are able of binding hydrophobic compounds. In this study, combination of modified dextran (diethylaminoethyl dextran) with positive charge and oppositely charged sodium dodecylsulphate as surfactant was used for preparation of hydrogels. Next type of hydrogel was based on hyaluronan and positive charged surfactant Septonex (carbethoxypendecinium bromide). As a diffusion probes in hydrogels dyes Nile red and ATTO 488 were used. The diffusion of these dyes from aqeous solutions of NaCl or surfactants into hydrogels was monitored in time. Transport of dyes into structure of hydrogels was characterized by diffusion coefficients and structural parameters of hydrogels.

Kalina, Michal ; Pabst, Willi (referee) ; Klučáková, Martina (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the study of non-stationary diffusion of cupric ions in humic gels. The main objective of the work was the optimalization of conditions for using the electrochemical analyzer EcaFlow 150 GLP for the study of diffusion experiments. Next part was focused on reaching of constant concentration profiles of cupric ions in humic gel. Last aim of the study was the bond strength between cupric ions and humic acids. Diffusion was characterized by the values of the diffusion flux and cupric ions concentration profiles in humic gel. The data necessary for calculation were obtained by the electrochemical analyses of the extracts of each slice after diffusion on the EcaFlow 150 GLP. It has been proved that after application of several adjustment is this method suitable for the study of diffusion experiments. By using of different extraction agents was obtained the fractionalization of cupric ions according to the bond strength to humic acids.

Measurement of selected samples relaxations by use of NMR
Kovalčík, Tomáš ; Gescheidtová, Eva (referee) ; Bartušek, Karel (advisor)
The work deals with nuclear magnetic resonance and principles of relaxation measurement and diffusion constants. Magnetic resonance is phenomenon, when energy in the form of RF pulse with Larmor frequency is added to this material in the magnetic field B0, the elements will be excited to a higher energy level. When you measure FID up to 90° RF pulse, from the absorption line, you will acquire . Further we can, for measurement of the transverse relaxation time T2, use the Spin echo method, that makes use of the 90° RF pulse and the series of 180° RF pulses. From measured values, the T2 relaxation time is directly acquired (inhomogeneity will prevent existence).
