Bačová, Veronika ; Magát, Martin (referee) ; Hubálek, Jaromír (advisor)
Předkládaná práce se zabývá nalezením vhodných podmínek pro výrobu nanaporézní struktury na tenké hliníkové vrstvě. V této práci jsou popsány postupy výroby nanoporézních struktur a jejich přípravou. Vznikly póry o rozměrech 5–20 nm. Byla zkoumána závislosti proudové hustoty v zavislosti na přiloženém pulzu. Všechny výsledky byly zkoumány pomocí SEM analýzy. Byla použita cyklická volatmetrie pro stanovení redukčního napětí při depozici niklu a zlata.

Liquid aprotic electrolytes with TiO2 a Al2O3 nanoparticles
Tomeš, Petr ; Krejza, Ondřej (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The first part of this diploma thesis is dealing with conductivity of liquid electrolytes. The second part is about third generation gel electrolytes and thein conductivity. The electrolytes were inorganic salts LiClO4, LiBF4 and NaClO4 in an aprotic propylene carbonate (PC) -used as a solvent. Nanosized Al2O3 and TiO2 particles were, proportionally to the sample's volume, added to the both – blend and gel samples in an amount expressed by weight percentage (wt). Both liquid and gel electrolytes contained following amount on nanosorbent: 3,46% wt, 7,17% wt, 10,0% wt and 12,0% wt. The liquid electrolytes were gelled using commercially available precursor Superacryl (Spofa dental s.r.o.).

Aluminium oxide ceramics microstructure modification for ballistic testing
Rolek, Ondřej ; Drdlík, Daniel (referee) ; Roleček, Jakub (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes basic shaping methods of ceramic materials and drying processes of wet ceramics, with concern of slip casting method. The experimental part of this thesis presents the usage of slip casting method for preparation of Al2O3 ceramic plates, suitable for personal and vehicle ballistic protection. Tailoring of the slip casting plaster molds, with regard to the resulting properties of the Al2O3 ceramic body, in particular its relative density, is also described in this part. The influence of sintering temperature on final relative density of ceramic samples and on their microstructure especially their grain size is also shown in the practical. Bulk ceramic samples suitable for upcoming ballistic testing with low grain size (1,18 m) and high relative density exceeding 99 % were prepared from alumina.

Influence of parameters of electrophoretic deposition on properties of ceramics
Husák, Roman ; Čelko, Ladislav (referee) ; Hadraba, Hynek (advisor)
Electrophoretic deposition is experimentally undemanding shaping method enabling preparation of ceramic material from stable suspension of ceramic particles by means of direct electric current. The aim of the work was to describe effect of electric current magnitude on velocity and final microstructural and mechanical properties of the ceramics. The alumina and zirconia layers were prepared by electrophoretic deposition from stable suspensions of ceramic particles in the isopropanol stabilised with monochloracetic acid. It was found that the real time dependance of particle deposition differs from the theoretical predisction for given electrical conditions. By precise measurement of kinetics of the electrophoretic deposition the actual electrophoretic mobility of the particles and the actual amount of particles taking part in the deposition process were found. It was found that with increasing the electrical current the actual electrophoretic mobility was decreased and actual amount of particles taking part in the deposition process was increased. The increasing velocity of particles under higher electrical currents led to the detorioration of particle arrangement in the elctrode and thus to the increasing of the pore sizes and final densities of the deposits. These microstructural changes reflected in the lowering of the hardness of the deposited ceramics of about 300HV5 in the case of alumina.

First experiments with suspension sprayed coatings of Al2O3 using hybrid plasma torch
Tesař, Tomáš ; Mušálek, Radek ; Medřický, Jan ; Kotlan, Jiří ; Pala, Zdeněk
Hybrid water stabilized plasmatron WSP-H represents an interesting alternative to common torches for thermal spraying, because it provides a unique combination of plasma velocity and enthalpy available for material processing. In this paper, influence of deposition parameters on coating characteristics was studied. Nanometric Al2O3 powder dispersed in ethanol was used as a model material. The coating was examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction and the results showed clear dependence of microstructure and phase composition on spraying distance and feed rate of the suspension. Results are promising for further optimization of the deposition process.

Tensile strength of alumina based ceramics foam
Řehořek, Lukáš ; Chlup, Zdeněk
In last years cellular materials are getting to focus of an interest in a number of industrial applications and science fields. These materials are often used for filtration of different mediums such as melts or in aerospace industry and even in tissue engineering. Hence, there is evolved effort to understand and describe mechanical and physical properties of these interesting materials. While behaviour of these materials in compression is well understand and published, tensile tests are not so frequent and concerning ceramic cellular materials they are highly rare. The methodology of evaluation of tensile properties of model ceramic foam material VUKAPOR((R))A used like filters in metallurgy was developed. This methodology is based on fixation of ceramic foam sample by specialised resin to a holder. Homogenous transfer of forces is ensured by this technique.

Tensile testing of high porous ceramic materials
Řehořek, Lukáš ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Dlouhý, Ivo
In last years cellular materials are getting to focus of an interest in a number of industrial applications and science fields. These materials are often used for filtration of different mediums or in aerospace industry and even in tissue engineering. Hence, there is effort to understand and describe mechanical and physical properties of these materials. While behaviour of these materials in compression is well understand and published, tensile tests are not so frequent and concerning ceramic cellular materials they are highly rare. The methodology of evaluation of tensile properties of model ceramic open-pore foam material VUKAPOR((R))A used like filters in metallurgy was developed. This methodology is based on fixation of ceramic foam sample by specialised resin to a holder. Homogenous transfer of forces is ensured by this technique. Specimens of two sizes – 10x10x30mm and 15x15x40mm were tested. Ceramic foams with two pore densities – 10 PPI and 60 PPI have been investigated.

Plazmové stříkání nanokeramiky - oxidu hlinitého a zirkoničitého
Chráska, Tomáš ; Neufuss, Karel ; Nohava, Jiří ; Dubský, Jiří
A novel material has been plasma sprayed by water stabilized plasma torch (WSP®) in order to achieve nanocrystalline microstructure. The new material is composed of three main compounds, namely corundum (alpha Al2O3), baddeleyite (monoclinic ZrO2), and glassy phase (SiO2). The ratio of Al2O3 – ZrO2 compounds is close to that of their respective eutectic alloy. Both dense coatings and free standing parts were produced with the new material, which sprays very well by WSP®. Spraying parameters were varied and molten particles were monitored in flight. The coatings exhibit very low porosity and high hardness. The as-sprayed material is mostly amorphous with some nanocrystalline grains of aluminum and zirconium oxide present. The microstructure of the newly sprayed material was studied by electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) and was found to be very complex. Upon annealing, the as-sprayed material fully crystallizes at around 950ºC. Selected mechanical properties were measured as well.
