Ceramic dental restoration milling from stock based on ZrO2
Ščasnovič, Erik ; Spusta, Tomáš (referee) ; Kaštyl, Jaroslav (advisor)
In this bachelor thesis, the theoretical overview about the milling of the dental zirconia blanks was performed. The tests of biaxial flexural strength were evaluated in the experimental part, as well as the roughness and the grain size in sintered state and the linear shrinkage was determined. These tests were done for gel cast blanks from zirconia dioxide prepared in laboratories and also for two types of commercially available zirconia oxide blanks fabricated by cold isostatic pressing. The relationship between strength and grain size was shown. The samples prepared from gel cast blanks had statistically significantly higher strength than samples from commercial blanks. At the end of the thesis, the milling of dental crown was carried out based on real tooth model from gel cast zirconia blank studied in this thesis.

Electrospinning of composite fiberous structures for piezoapplications
Schifferová, Zuzana ; Kaštyl, Jaroslav (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
Polymer and composite polymer-ceramic nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning process. Solution of 20 wt.% polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and acetone in the ratio of 7:3 was chosen as the most suitable precursor. When preparing composite nanofibers, 20 wt.% of barium calcium zirconate titanate (BCZT) or barium titanate (BT) nanoparticles was added to this PVDF solution. Given parameters were defined as the most suitable for the process of electrospinning: voltage of 50 kV, feeding rate of 30 l/min, distance between emitter and collector of 20 cm and needle diameter of 17 G. The effect of polymer molecular weight and the rotation speed of collector was also studied. Various properties of prepared samples were studied: morphology and fiber diameter, phase composition with the use of x-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and also chosen electrical properties. Lower fiber diameters appeared with lower polymer molecular weight and higher rotation speed of the collector. These parameters resulted in higher percentage of the piezoelectric phase as well. The smallest achieved fiber diameter was around 300 nm, the highest percentage of phase was 92 % and the highest piezoelectric constant had a value of 16 pC/N. Composite fibers filled with BT particles showed better properties that the ones filled with BCZT particles.

Electrospinning of ceramic fibers
Nemčovský, Jakub ; Kaštyl, Jaroslav (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on the fabrication of ceramic fibres by electrospinning. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the currently available information regarding ceramic fibres, their properties, applications and fabrication. The theoretical part also describes the process of electrospinning as one of the most frequently used methods of nanofibre fabrication, as well as the parametres influencing this process. The experimental part is aimed at the fabrication of ceramic fibres based on titania, pure non-doped zirconia and yttria-doped zirconia by electrospinning and at the characterization of thus fabricated fibres. Ceramic precursors based on propoxide and polyvinylpyrrolidone were subjected to electrospinning. The experimental part of this diploma thesis also describes the influence of precursor composition, process conditions and calcination temperature on the morphology and phase composition of the fibres. Precursors were characterized by viscosity measurements. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Röntgen analysis (RTG) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to describe the fibres. By performing electrospinning of precursors based on titanium propoxide and subsequent calcination at 500-1300 °C, TiO2 fibres with thickness of 100-2500 nm were fabricated. The phase composition changed with calcination temperature from 500 °C from anatase phase through rutile blend to pure rutile at 900 °C. By performing electrospinning of precursors based on zirconium propoxide and subsequent calcination at 550-1100 °C, 0 – 8 mol% Y2O3 doped ZrO2 fibres with thickness of 50-1000 nm were fabricated. An analysis of fibres based on non-doped ZrO2, calcined at 550 °C showed a composition of predominantly monoclinic phase. An analysis of 3 or 8 mol% Y2O3 doped ZrO2 fibres calcined at 900 °C showed a composition of predominantly tetragonal phase or purely cubic phase, respectively. With the increasing calcination temperature, the morphology of the fibres changed from porous nanostructure to chain-like non-porous structure consisting of micrometer grains of TiO2 or ZrO2. The ZrO2 fibres calcined at 700 °C remained flexible as well as the spun ones, while their fragility increased with the increase in calcination temperature.

Core-Shell Ceramic Structures Prepared by Thermoplastic Co-Extrusion Method
Kaštyl, Jaroslav ; Pabst, Willi (referee) ; Hadraba, Hynek (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
In the doctoral thesis, the bi-layer ceramic bodies with core-shell geometry were prepared by thermoplastic co-extrusion method and for these composite bodies the mechanical properties were studied. For study of co-extrusion and mechanical properties were designed two composite systems. First system ZTA-A combined the dense core ZTA (zirconia-toughened alumina) and the dense shell Al2O3. Second system ZST-Z consisted of porous core and dense shell made from ZrO2 for both cases. In the thesis, the rheology of ceramic thermoplastic suspensions and their mutual influence during co-extrusion was studied. Subsequently, the debinding process and sintering were studied, and based on the optimization of all process steps were obtained defect-free bodies with core-shell geometry. The mechanical properties (elastic modulus, hardness and bending strength) were determined for sintered bodies. To estimate the stress path in the core shell bodies loaded in bending, the relationship considering different elastic moduli of the core and the shell was used. For bodies of ZTA-A system was increased the strength in comparison with monolithic bodies of the individual components. Thus, bodies with high surface hardness of shell from Al2O3 and moreover having high fracture strength in bending were obtained. The effective elastic modulus was decreased for bodies of ZST-Z system up to 25 % in comparison with the elastic modulus of dense monolithic samples. The same effective modulus of elasticity was possible to achieve with core-shell bodies while maintaining significantly higher fracture strength than monolithic porous bodies or pipes.

Coextrusion of laminated ceramic bodies
Kaštyl, Jaroslav ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
In the diploma thesis, an overview of the existing literature focused on the thermoplastic co-extrusion method was worked out and based on the findings, extrusion of the monolayer and homogenous bodies from ZrO2, Al2O3, ZTA a ATZ was studied. For thermoplastic extrusion the capillary rheometer was modified and the nozzle was designed and fabricated. Applying the co-extrusion method, homogenous ceramic rods and monolayer rods in structure core/layer: ZrO2/Al2O3, ZrO2/ATZ and ZTA/Al2O3 were fabricated. In monolayer rods, the interface quality and defects that originate during preparation were evaluated. Technological parameters and properties of homogenous rods were used to rate the structure and defects in monolayer rods. Monolayer rods ZrO2/ATZ and ZTA/Al2O3 with 2.5 mm diameter and 45 mm length (containing small defects) were prepared by thermoplastic co-extrusion.

Evolution of pores during sintering of advanced oxide ceramic materials
Spusta, Tomáš ; Kaštyl, Jaroslav (referee) ; Maca, Karel (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor’s thesis is to experimentally specify behaviour of pores in oxide ceramic materials (Al2O3, t-ZrO2, c-ZrO2), particularly to describe the transition from open to close porosity. Ceramics powders made by different producers and with different initial particle size (Al2O3 – AKP30, REYNOLDS, TAIMICRON; ZrO2 + 3 mol.% Y2O3 – TZ3Y, TZ3YSB; ZrO2 + 8 mol.% Y2O3 – TZ8Y, TZ8YSB) were used. Samples were pressed by cold isostatic pressing CIP at pressures of 100MPa and 300MPa, and pressureless sintered up to relative densities up to 88-96%. The obtained results show, that evolution is mainly affected by material, independently of size of initial particles neither by initial shaping pressure. Elimination of open pores occurs in cubic ZrO2 at 91-92 % of relative density, in tetragonal ZrO2 at 92-93 % of relative density and in Al2O3 at 94 % of relative density.

Thermoplastic extrusion of ceramic materials with ionic and mixed conductivity
Kaštyl, Jaroslav ; Matoušek, Aleš (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
In the bachelor thesis, an overview of the existing literature focused on thermoplastic extrusion method was worked out and based on the findings; the conditions for extrusion of mixtures with zirconia were optimized in order to produce rods. Great attention was paid to dimensional and shape precision of ceramic parts. Two methods were applied when preparing the ceramic mixtures – mixing and dissolving. These methods have been compared on the basis of the results achieved in rheological measurements of flow properties, microstructure and dimensional accuracy of the sintered rods. Having verified the efficiency of mixture dissolving, this method was used to prepare mixtures with different contents of cellulose and binder.
