Effect of pH of mixing water on hydration and mechanical properties of cement composites.
Bezděk, Ondřej ; Krátký, Josef (referee) ; Šiler, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis is focused on the effect of mixing water pH value on hydration and mechanical properties of cement composites based on portland cement. Source material was CEM I 42,5 R. Hydration process was analyzed by isoperibolic calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis and differential thermal analysis. Compressive and flexural strength was examined as mechanical properties. The samples microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Influence of mixing water pH value on flexural and compressive strength, retardation of hydration and ratio of individual phases was shown.

Synthesis of ceramic materials based on Ca-Co-O system
Žáková, Kateřina ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Bartoníčková, Eva (advisor)
In this work synthesis of structure cobaltites based on Ca-Co-O system is discussed. As major way of synthesis was chosen citric acid method. The document is devided into theoretical and experimental part and also into discussion of observed results. Main focus of literary research is general utilization and function of thermoelectric materials, related thermoeletric effects according to structural defects in crystals. Also topic of cobaltite ceramics is described. Due to the fact that calcium-cobalt oxides are conductive, their use is point of interest in high-temperature and energy applications. During experiments differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), X-Ray diffraction, heat microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used.

The study of zinc influence on Portland cement hydration.
Ptáček, Martin ; Janča, Martin (referee) ; Šiler, Pavel (advisor)
The topic of this work is the monitoring of the effect of zinc on the hydration process in Portland mixed cement (specifically with the addition of finely ground granulated blast-furnace slag, high temperature fly ash and fluidized bed combustion filter ash). How much zinc and at what time it remains in the pore solution during hydration. Activation energy of a mixture of cement with zinc in the form of soluble salts (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O and ZnCl2) and insoluble oxide (ZnO) by isothermal calorimetry was also investigated. The XRF method has shown composition during hydration. The zinc retardation effect was investigated by isothermal calorimetry and activation energy was calculated using this method. The XRF and ICP-OES methods were used to measure the zinc content of the pore solution. And the amount of portlandite was monitored by the DTA and XRF method.

STRUCTURAL, THERMODYNAMICS AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF Zn Sn Al ALLOYS
Drápala, J. ; Musiol, J. ; Petlák, D. ; Vodárek, V. ; Smetana, B. ; Zlá, S. ; Kostiuková, G. ; Kroupa, Aleš ; Sidorov, V.E.
Some results of thermodynamic, structural and physical properties of Al-Sn-Zn alloys are presented in our paper. The ternary Al-Sn-Zn alloys were prepared in a resistance furnace in evacuated ampoules. The alloys were studied metallographically, their micro-hardness and X-ray micro-analysis (EDX, SEM) of individual phases were measured. Temperatures of phase transitions (liquidus, solidus, invariant reactions, etc.) were obtained using the DTA method (Setaram SETSYS 18 (TM)). The long time annealing (250, 300, 350 degrees C, 3, 7, 14 or 28 days) was used in order to achieve the thermodynamic equilibrium. The results were confronted with thermodynamic modelling of the ternary Al Sn Zn system in the Institute of Physics of Materials AS of the Czech Republic in Brno. We have studied density (by gamma-absorption method), electrical resistivity (by contactless method in rotating magnetic field) and magnetic susceptibility (by Faraday's method) of some Al-Sn-Zn alloys containing up to 10 at.% of aluminum and up to 65 at.% of zinc. The increasing of zinc content resulted in the decrease of the density and susceptibility values, except for one sample. The resistivity values practically didn't depend on the zinc content in the crystalline state, whereas a maximum was found for one of the samples in the liquid state. This work has been made in the frame of COST Action MP0602 project 'Advanced Solder Materials for High-Temperature Application'.
