Balgová, Zuzana ; Plešingerová,, Beatrice (referee) ; Bakoš, Dušan (referee) ; Palou, Martin (advisor)
Dizertační práce se zabývala syntézou a studiem kompozitních materiálů pro potenciální lékařské využití. Teoretická část je zaměřena na biomateriály, zejména na kompozity složené z polyvinylalkoholu a hydroxyapatitu(PVA/HA). Byly připraveny kompozitní membrány složené z polyvinylalkoholu s různým hmotnostním zastoupením hydroxyapatitu - 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% a 50%. Hydroxyapatit (HA) byl připraven srážecí metodou z hydrogenfosforečnanu amonného a tetrahydrátu dusičnanu vápenatého ve vodném alkalickém prostředí. Vzniklá suspenze se smísila s roztokem polyvinylalkoholu, který byl připraven rozpuštěním ve vodě o teplotě 85° C. Jednotlivé směsi byly odlity do formy a sušeny po dobu 7 dní při teplotě 30 ° C, vzniklé 0,5 mm tenké membrány byly analyzovány ATR-FTIR spektroskopií k identifikaci funkčních skupin v kompozitu, dále byla provedena XRD analýza. Zkouška tahem a TGA měření byly realizovány k určení vlivu HA na mechanické vlastnosti, respektive změnu tepelné odolnosti kompozitů ve srovnání s čistým PVA. Byla provedena zkouška bioaktivity v simulovaném krevním roztoku (SBF) po dobu 2h, 7 a 28 dnů. SEM byla použita k charakterizaci povrchové mikrostruktury biocompositních membrán před a po ponoření do SBF. Na povrchu testovaných membrán vznikla vrstva apatitu, která je charakteristická pro bioaktivní materiály. Bylo zjištěno, že s rostoucím množstvím HA částic docházelo ke vzniku aglomerátů v kompozitu, které vznikly mimo jiné jako důsledek růstu krystalů HA během sušení membrán. Bioaktivita rostla s delším působením SBF na vzorky.

Development of methodology for study of mechanical activation of chemical reactions at phase boundaries
Matoušek, David ; Kalina, Lukáš (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
This Bachelor thesis deals with impact of mechanochemical activation on a nature of interphase region in macro-defect-free composites (MDF). MDF composites are highly perspective material on a polymer-cement basis. The most significant advantage of this material is high flexural strength (cca 150 MPa). High strength is caused by high-shear mixing of mixture of cement, polymer, water and plasticiser in twin-roll mill. High-shear stress leads to mechanical activation of reactions between cement and polymer and creation of weak or even strong interactions in interphase region. This work aimed on creation of interphase region by contact of surfaces of two moulded tablets – polyvinyl alcohol and monocalcium aluminate. Next step was construction of simple apparatus, able to define the rate of mechanical activation in interphase region. The most important part of this work concentrated on analysis of activated interphase region by XPS.

Polymer-cement composites of increased refractoriness
Žůrová, Marcela ; Mončeková, Miroslava (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The subject of the barchelor thesis is the preparation of high-strength polymer – cement composites based on the calcium aluminate cement and polyvinylalcohol. For macrodefect–free (MDF) composites are characterized by low porosity and the absence of microcracks. The main problem of the MDF composites is decreased resistance to water or moisture, with a decrease in strength. These compounds are interesting with its mechanical properties, which are greater than the strength of common materials (wood, glass, PMMA,…). Represent perspective type of material that could be used for construction purposes. The thermal degradation of the polymer, however, there are changes in the structure of the composite and to the deterioration of mechanical properties. This thesis is focused on characterization of the effect of temperature change on the structure, material composition and mechanical properties. The MDF composites were prepared based on calcium aluminate cement, which was gradually replaced by refractory additives. During the work was carried out tests of bending strength at various temperatures. Changes in the composition and structure were characterized by TG – DTA, XRD and SEM analysis.

Solubility control of biodegradable starch-based packaging
Krobot, Štěpán ; Ondreáš, František (referee) ; Lepcio, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the preparation and testing of biodegradable films based on starch. The aim of the thesis is laboratory preparation of foils based on various types of starch, glycerol, polyvinylalcohol and with the addition of plasticizer – citric acid. Four different types of starch and two types of polyvinyl alcohol were used. In the first series of samples, the ratio of added glycerol to starch content was varied. Samples in the second series were prepared in the same ratios, but with different PVA. A citric acid solution was added into the last series of samples. The second aim of the thesis, after pressing the films, was to determine their solubility and stability in aqueous media depending on the ratio between added glycerol to starch content, the type of polyvinylalcohol used, and the addition of citric acid to the mixture. It has been found that citric acid appears to affect the chemical structure of the films and thus their solubility in aqueous media as well as their mechanical properties. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the structure of the films and to elucidate its effect on solubility.

Hydrogel carriers of microbial cultures for contact sampling of biocidic surfaces
Antálek, Adam ; Králová, Marcela (referee) ; Dzik, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the development and optimization of material for biological sampling of active surfaces with biocidal properties. The aim was to modify polyvinyl alcohol with methacrylic groups, to determine the degree of conversion of the prepared polymer, to optimize the preparation of hydrogels. Furthermore, the aim was to investigate the effect of copolymerization aditives of sodium methacrylate and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate on the swelling and mechanical properties of hydrogels. It was found that 20% vol. the content of polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate most significantly increases the swelling rate in the initial phase of water absorption. The hydrogels of this composition and the hydrogels consisting only of pure methacrylated polyvinyl alcohol, despite the assumption, increase the mechanical resistance after swelling to equilibrium. The hydrogels of the composition containing both copolymer aditives absorb water at equilibrium to the highest extent of the investigated compositions.

Modification of polyvinylalcohol of lower saponification degree for preparation of MDF composites
Kotrla, Jan ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is modification of polyvinylalcohol of lower saponification degree for preparation of MDF composites. MDF composites are characterized by their extreme mechanical properties. However, their low resistance to moisture is a significant disadvantage. Increased moisture resistance could be achieved by grafting suitable functional groups on the polymeric chain and the subsequent cross-linking. The study is focused on optimization of the number of functional groups and the cross-linking conditions. The number of grafted functional groups was determined by UV – VIS, XPS analysis and IR spectrophotometry. The solubility of the crosslinked samples was measured by rheological measurements.

Mechanical activation of chemical reactions at interfaces of MDF composites
Matoušek, David ; Másilko, Jiří (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The thesis deals with study of mechnochemical activation of chemical reactions at interphase of MDF composites. MDF composites are high-perspective composite materials on polymer-cement base. They excel especially in terms of flexural strengths. High flexural stregth is caused by binding interactions between the polymer and the cement. This interactions arise due to mechanochemical activation of raw material mixture at the stage of production. This work focuses on the creation of artificial cement-polymer interphase by contacting the surfaces of two molded tablets (polyvinyl alcohol and monocalcium aluminate), activation of chemical reactions at interphase by means of specially designed appartus, which achieves good plane-parallelism of activation surfaces and good definability of activation conditions (shear rate, pressure). After experiments under different conditions, the activated surfaces are analyzed by SEM, EDS, XPS and FT-IR.
