Research of effective use and activation of activ concrete additions
Mikhailova, Olesia ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The theoretical part describes the admixtures that are used in cement replacement. Here also summarizes the findings on the influence of granulomentry, grain shape and fineness of admixtures on the density of the cement matrix. The practical part is experimentally verified the influence of fineness admixtures and grain size on the mechanical properties of concrete. Also, the rheological properties of cement are compared with admixtures depending on the type and dosage and time.

The use of micro and nanotechnology to develop ultra high strength and high performance concrete with special features
Vlč, Viktor ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The use of nanotechnology has become wide spread in all branches of science. Nanotechnology help us to understand microstructure and due to the world has started to produce new materials. One of many examples carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In diploma thesis I tried to find the way of successful introduction into concrete mixture. I was studying influence of CNTs and other nano particles and I was comparing them with referential samples (without CNTs). Also I tested the improvement of mechanical characteristics of concrete. The morphology of nano particles was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results show that introduction of nanoparticles to results in increasing strength and higher density. That is why High Performace Concrete so resistant and durable.

Tin dioxide based semiconducting gas sensors
Gablech, Imrich ; Pytlíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This project is aimed at semiconductive gas sensors based on tin dioxide. In the first part, gas sensors are divided depending on their principal of functionality. Next part is about functionality of tin dioxide gas sensors and the possibilities of active layer modification. Experimental describes gas sensor from its drawing until construction, testing and characterization. Several microelectronic technologies such as thin-film, thick-film, LTCC, spray-coating or wire-bonding were used for constructing the sensor. In the last part properties of gas sensors and differences in functionality between modified and unmodified gas sensor are summarized.

Carbon nanotubes utilization for fabrication of thick-film sensors electrodes
Polický, Jiří ; Adámek, Martin (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This work covers an area of heavy metals detection by miniaturized thick film sensors. Working electrode of these sensors was fabricated using thick film paste that was prepared as a nanocomposition of carbon nanotubes powder, suitable vehicle and a thinner. The response of fabricated electrodes to cadmium and lead ions was measured using differential pulse voltammetry in an acetate buffer solution using a three electrode sytem. The results were compared with the carbon electrode made from special commercial thick film polymer paste. Finally the possibility of working electrode surface activation with nitric acid and heavy metals on real biological sample detection is described here.

Cellulose Nanofibers and Aerogel Materials
Salajková, Michaela ; Kalfus, Jan (referee) ; Jančář, Josef (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá přípravou nových kompozitů na bázi mikrofibrilované celulozy a multi-walls carbon nanotubes (MFC/MWCNTs). Tři různé metody byly použity pro modifikaci MWCNTs. Byl zkoumán vliv použitých modifikací na kvalitu MWCNTs suspense. Dále byly připraveny kompozity obsahující MFC a MWCNTs a vliv MWCNTs na mechanické a elektrické vlastnosti a morfologii byl zkoumán. MWCNTs suspense byly charakterizovány za použití UV-VIS spektrofotometrie, Rastrovacího elektronového mikroskopu (SEM) a Termogravimetrické analýzy (TGA). Elektrické vlastnosti byly měřeny pomocí Keithly Electrometer/High Resistivity Meter. Mechanické vlastnosti v tahu byly měřeny za použití Miniature Materials Tester a pro studium morfologie byl použit SEM. Žádný významný vliv MWCNTs na mechanické vlastnosti nebyl pozorován. Hodnoty získané z měření rezistivity vykazují typický perkolační trend a výrazného snížení rezistivity bylo dosaženo přidáním 1 – 2 wt.% MWCNTs. Nicméně hodnoty se velice liší pro horní a spodní stranu téhož vzorku. Ze získaných výsledků vyplývá, že klíčovým krokem ke zdokonalení vlastností materiálu jsou dobrá suspense MWCNTs a také dosažení vzájemné kompatibility obou složek.

Study of dispersion of carbon nanotubes in cement composites
Michnová, Kamila ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
Carbon nanotubes have the ability to improve the mechanical and physical properties of cement composites. However, their introduction into industrial utilization is hampered by several obstacles. It primarily involves the effective incorporation into the cement matrix, health and ecological risks. The experimental part of the work deals with the dispersing carbon nanotubes in aqueous solution and their subsequent integration into the structure of the cement matrix.

Studying the properties of high strength concrete using micro and nano admixtures
Gabko, Miroslav ; Bodnárová, Lenka (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The objective of this bachelor thesis is to examine the properties of high strength concretes with the main focus on application of mikro or nano admixtures. In theoretical part their production, the properties and the influence on fresh and hardened properties of cement composites are described. In addition, it explores the influence of plasticizer type, some properties of aggregate and cement types. The practical part focuses on testing cement mortars in which fine cements were added. The compressive and flexural strengths were examined after 7 and 28 days of curing, moreover, rheological properties and heat hydration of cements were also observed. Furthermore, the influence of high speed mixing on cement mortars properties was studied.
