Materials for biodegradable bones based on Fe
Hrabovský, Jan ; Vondrák, Jiří (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The thesis deals with biodegradable bone implants which must have good mechanical properties and also good compatibility with the human body. The thesis contains literary research in the area of bone physiology, biogenic materials and implants for the human body. The thesis focues on the selection of suitable materials for biogenic implants. It is also described the preparation of iron powder mixtures and application onto selected materials. The selected samples were subjected to thermal analysis.

Biocompatible titanium alloys and theirs application
Hofírek, Michal ; Kohout, Jan (referee) ; Věchet, Stanislav (advisor)
This thesis presents use of titanium alloys in medical applications in form of literature research. In first part the basic properties of titanium as element are discussed as well as its behavior in alloys. Next part focuses on proper explanation of term biocompatibility and sums up specific requirements for alloys used in orthopaedic applications. These properties are shown on alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI and other selected titanium based alloys which are currently being developed.

On the advanced production technology of UHMWPE joint implant part
Urbancová, Kateřina ; Sliwková, Petra (referee) ; Píška, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is dealing with the problematics of individual joint replacements. The thesis summarizes the modern materials used for making artificial joint replacements, but it concentrates mainly on the plastic femoro-tibial part of the implant, usually manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This material is the best choice when manufacturing the articulating surface of the joint replacement at the moment. The thesis pays attention to the polyethylene surface treatment, as the quality of the surface affects the wear of the plastic, which is critical for the implant lifespan. The thesis also focuses on analysis of the coefficient of friction of UHMWPE in contact with the titanium femoral component. Another part of this thesis is also a wear analysis of used tibial inserts made of UHMWPE and the mechanisms of wear.

Modern methods of implant manufacturing by Rapid Prototyping technology
Trubačová, Pavlína ; Sedlák, Josef (referee) ; Píška, Miroslav (advisor)
This research describes the possibilities of using unconventional technologies known as Rapid Prototyping methods. These methods make part of Additive manufacturing technologies. The project investigates the influences of process parameters on the final part quality and analyses the advantages and the disadvantages of using RP technologies for medical application, mainly for implant fabrication. The objective of experimental part is fabrication of samples by Selective Laser Melting (RP technology). The stainless steel will be used and two parameters will be varied (laser power, component inclination). For final evaluation of mechanical properties, surface quality, Alicona machine, compression test and Vickers’ hardness test will be used.

Middle ear implants in clinical practice
Ondrášková, Lucie ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
The paper is a brief overview of anatomy of the ear, hearing screening, diseases and disorders affecting the organ of hearing. Next, there are listed the first ideas implants and their materials and there are described middle ear implants used nowadays and the latest surgical procedures, relevant legislation and the reaction of the body on the implant. The practical part will consist of collecting clinical data comprise the number and types of operations, air and speech audiometry and subsequent statistical evaluation. At the conclusion will be discussed and reviewed the statistics.

A study on sintering technologies of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for implants
Bučková, Katrin ; Ohnišťová, Petra (referee) ; Píška, Miroslav (advisor)
This work contributes to the problem of individual replacements of worn human joints by applying new types of implants and materials, made using modern additive technologies (melting of metal powders by laser and electron beam). The main attention is paid to the method called Electron Beam Melting used in the ARCAM Q10plus. Analysis of samples of the sintered Ti6Al4V - ELI alloy is made from the point of view of production precision and quality after sintering in different technological modes and the surface quality reached after turning and tumbling, including measurement of other physical quantities.

Biodegradable bones implants based on iron
Hrabovský, Jan ; Zatloukal, Miroslav (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This work deals with a current topic, which are biodegradable bone implants. These implants seem to be a suitable candidate for temporary fixations, with their gradual decomposition. An important parameter is not only the mechanical properties so that the material can withstand the load, but above all the corrosion properties and the degradation process. This work introduces the physiology of bone, trace elements and also describes current trends in the field of implants. The last part is a theoretical introduction to cross-stage processes. The practical part is focused on the preparation of iron-based samples with various dopants, subsequent annealing and analysis.
