Development of natural cosmetics emulsions with encapsulated active substances
Chrápavá, Edita ; Dzurendová, Simona (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
In recent years, there is a increase of consumer interest in products, which in some way help a more favourable ecological sustainability, whether it is a reduction of emissions during mass production, easier breakdown of chemicals in wastewater, or harmlessness of products and ingredients from which products are made. This topic also affected the cosmetic industry in a big way, and they were thus forced to start adapting not only smaller brands of natural cosmetics, but also large companies. As a result, bigger companies started to pay more attention to research of natural substances for cosmetics and the development of natural alternatives to synthetic ingredients. At the same time, there is also increasing interest in the effects of Eastern medicine mushrooms and their beneficial effects on both physical and mental health. This thesis focuses on the connection of these two topics, the analysis of plant extracts and extracts of medicinal mushrooms on one side and their potential cosmetic use on the other. Subsequently, a cosmetic product was designed made from ingredients of natural origin with encapsulated extracts from these natural ingredients as active substances

Preparation of magnetorheological fluids with high sedimentation stability
Oharek, Lukáš ; Kalina, Michal (referee) ; Smilek, Jiří (advisor)
The introduced bachelor thesis focuses on the current issue of stability of magnetorheological fluids in the gravitation field. To prepare stable magnetorheological fluid, influence of additives, particles modification and different carrier fluid are investigated. Regarding the increased viscosity of the carrier fluids, which negatively affect the magnetorheological effect, a magnetorheological fluid containing carbonyl iron particles, which were chemisorbed with non-ionic surfactant Tween 20 was prepared. Mineral oil and water emulsions were used as a carrier fluid, emulsifier Span 80 was used to stabilize the water-in-oil emulsion. Sedimentation stability is improved, at the same time the viscosity of the carrier fluid is increased.

In the theoretical part, this bachelor’s thesis focuses on the overview of the basic characteristics and properties of the emulsion. Great attention is paid to choosing the type of emulsifier and the calculation hydrophilic-lipophilic balance. The mechanisms andcauses of instability of emulsions and their possible prevention and methods of stabilization are analyzed. The present state of the problem aimed to the analysis of existing methods for determination of emulsion stability and their use in practice is also part of this thesis. The experimental part of the work is primarily focused on the preparation of O/W cosmetic emulsions with additive of active substances such as UV absorbers. To characterize the prepared samples, pH values were measured and viscosities determined. The stability of the emulsion was carried out using an analytical centrifuge, and these results were further correlated with the standard gravitational stability tests (change of storage temperature of the formulation) according to the SÚKL methodical guidelines (REG-49, REG 51), which are the Czech version of the 75/318 /: Stability tests on active ingredients and finished products. Methods of preparation and composition of individual samples are described, which is further correlated with the stated characteristics of prepared creams.
