Interfacial rheology as the effective tool to description of interfacial behaviour of biofilms
Kachlířová, Helena ; Kráčalík, Milan (referee) ; Smilek, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to optimize a method of interfacial rheology for testing the interfacial behaviour of biofilms on the liquid-air interface and after that use the method for studying the biofilm formation under optimal and stress conditions. For studying the biofilm formation, Kombucha was used. It is a microbial culture forming a cellulose biofilm on the interface. As the stress conditions, reduction of sucrose concentration, change of pH and change of ionic strength was used. Next, the ability of regeneration of biofilm formed on the interface was studied. The biofilm formation was occured in all cases except of increasing ionic strength. As expected, the best biofilm biofilm growth was observed under optimal condition, which means a sucrose concentration 100 g/l.

Influence of friction modifiers composition on traction in wheel-rail contact
Kvarda, Daniel ; Hartl, Martin (referee) ; Galas, Radovan (advisor)
Friction modifiers are a new effective way to control adhesion in wheel and rail contact. The aim of this diploma thesis is experimental study of the influence of the constituents of water based friction modifier on adhesion. Measurement of the adhesion behavior for different friction modifier compositions is carried out on a ball–on–disc laboratory device creating point contact. The introductory part of the experiments describes the effect of individual components on adhesion. Subsequently, combinations of different friction modifier compositions are tested. In conclusion, selected compositions are used for wear tests. The results obtained show that the performance of friction modifiers is greatly influenced by evaporation of base medium.
