Using of detonation nanodiamond in tribology research field
Mauer, Milan ; Křupka, Ivan (referee) ; Svoboda, Petr (advisor)
The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to give a general knowledge about nanodiamonds, which are chipped off during the explosions diamonds. These particles are used as additions in lubricating preparations to decrease the friction. Bachelor thesis summarizes the basic characteristics, methods of manufacture and application nanodiamonds in practice. Part of this thesis is dedicated to theoretical and detailed descriptions of procedures and experimental results in nanodiamonds field of study. Another part describes different types of nanoparticles, used for the same purpose as nanodiamonds. The final part sums up the advantages of nanoparticles and its purpose for experimental or practical usage.

Friction reduction by surface texturing
Mauer, Milan ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to experimentally elucidate the connection between the friction of the specimen with the textured surface and the optical observation of the sliding contact surface. The thesis focuses on the configuration of the journal bearing. This configuration is achieved by replacing the block with a circular sapphire section on a block-on-ring tribometer. For exploring of the lubricant film formation, the method of optical interferometry and fluorescence is implemented on the block-on-ring tribometer. These adjustments allow examination of the effect of the textured surface on the friction coefficient and the thickness of the lubricant film. In a mixed mode, the textures cause a significant increase in friction values and reduce the thickness of the lubricant film. The negative influence of dimples increases with the increasing radial load size. In the hydrodynamic mode, the textures have a lower negative effect on the resulting values than in the mixed mode. The changes are dependent on the size of the radial load and the viscosity of the lubricant. In the hydrodynamic mode, cavitation was not observed, and the effect of the textured surface does not correspond to theoretical prerequisites, which is reflected by lower lubricant thickness and higher friction.
