Surface modification of glass fibers for polymer composites
Knob, Antonín ; Marek,, Aleš (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
The doctoral thesis is aimed at preparation of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites with controlled interphase formed by plasma-polymerized tetravinylsilane and tetravinylsilane/oxygen thin films. The thin polymer films of specific physico-chemical properties and thickness were deposited to improve interfacial adhesion of glass fiber/polyester composites. The fiber surface modification was performed by using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition in low-temperature RF plasma operating in an various effective power range and different treatment time. Test results were examined in relation to the interlayer thickness and different treatment conditions. The prepared interlayers were analyzed to evaluate physico-chemical composition and properties (XPS, RBS, ERDA, FTIR and spectroscopic elipsometry). Selected mechanical properties were evaluated by AFM. Mechanical response of plasma interlayers was evaluated by short beam shear test and direct method of testing the interfacial shear strength using microindentation. The interphase shear failure was controlled by the shear strength at the interlayer/fiber interface as follows from experimental and model data.

Study of inorganic matrix composites for FRP
Svora, Petr ; Rovnaník, Pavel (referee) ; Puliš,, Pavel (referee) ; Šubrt,, Jan (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
During a whole period of time which fibre-reinforced polymers have been used in the building industry, in dominating bonding agent has been the organic resins. There is no doubt about their advantages, but at the same time, they have two weaknesses: they are not fire resistant and they have no resistance to high temperature. Those are the reasons why the research on alternative materials which could replace organic matrix has been undertaken. The goal of the work is to maintain mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced polymer with organic matrix. Of course, an emphasis is placed to fulfilling ecological standards which are required from ecological material. An aluminosilicate inorganic matrix can meet them all. It is non-flammable, does not produce any toxic matter in contact with fire and the energy consumption during production process is lower than in case of the organic matrix. This work includes study and analysis of selected raw materials as well as their influence and impact on final reaction products which are created in inorganic matrix. A part of this work is also a design of the inorganic matrix recipe.

Fiber reinforcements for polymer composites
Knob, Antonín ; Grégr, Jan (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is concerned with an influence of surface modification of fibrous reinforcements on mechanical properties at the fiber-matrix interface in fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Polyester resin was used as a matrix, glass and carbon fibers were the reinforcements. The composite sample consisted of polymer matrix in a form of cylindrical body placed on a bundle of fibers. Untreated fibers and fibers with a commercial sizing were used for fabrication of composite samples. The tensile test using a materials testing machine (Zwick) was employed to evaluate adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface.

Polymer composites with controlled interphase
Zvonek, Milan ; Knob, Antonín (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
Cieľom diplomovej práce je príprava polymerných kompozitov vyztužených sklenenými vláknami s riadenou medzifázou za použitia metódy plazmochemickej depozície z plynnej fáze a monomeru tetravinylsilanu. Teoretická časť je zameraná na literárnu rešerš o plazme, plazmovej polymerácií, tenkých vrstvách a kompozitoch. Experimentálna časť popisuje použité materiály a aparaturu použitú na povrchovú modifikáciu sklenených vlákien a prípravu vláknom vyztužených kompozitov. Povrchová úprava sklenených vlákien prebiehala za rôznych depozičných podmienok. Chemické a mechanické analýzy vytvorenej medzivrstvy prebiehali za použitia FTIR spektrometrie a vrypového testu. Vliv povrchovej úpravy bol zistený pomocou získanej interlaminárnej šmykovej sily použítím testu krátkych trámečkov.

High Performance Polymer Composites
Bábík, Adam ; Lapčík,, Lubomír (referee) ; Prokeš, Jan (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
High performance polymer composites are materials with emphasis on specific chemical and mechanical properties due to their broad scope of applications. The main advantages are high strenght and toughness in comparison with their low weight and density. An increased adhesion at composite interfaces is important to ensure excellent composite properties. Bundles of glass fibers were coated by plasma-polymerised interlayers of tetravinylsilane (pp-TVS) of different thicknesses and at different effective powers. The prepared interlayers of pp-TVS were analyzed to evaluate chemical composition (RBS, FTIR, XPS) and mechanical properties (NI-AFM). Microindentation test and fiber-bundle pull-out test were used to determine the interfacial shear strenght.

The influence of surface modification of glass fibers on mechanical response of the GF/polyester composite
Janeček, Pavel ; Richtera, Lukáš (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
The diploma thesis is aimed at an influence of surface modifications of fibrous reinforcements on mechanical properties at the fiber-matrix interface in fiber reinforced composites. Glass fibers were used as reinforcements and polyester resin was the matrix. The sample of composite consisted of polymer matrix in a form of cylindrical body placed on bundle of glass fibers. The design of the sample was constructed with respect to results of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The tensile test using a materials testing machine (Zwick) was employed to evaluate adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface. Untreated glass fibers, fibers with commercial sizing, and fibers modified by deposition of plasma polymer film using Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) at different deposition conditions were used for fabrication of composite samples. The fibers and composite samples were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM).
