Latex Modified Cement Composites
Kunc, Michal ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (referee) ; Kuřitka, Ivo (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
The subject of dissertation is a study of physic-mechanical properties and development of self-leveling polymer-cement composite of the ternary binder system PC-CAC-CS modified with chemical additives and polymeric substances. The dissertation systematically describes a four-step optimalization of the composite considering its key properties. Experimental part has been focused on monitoring the impact of composite components on selected final properties. Basic physico-mechanical, structural properties and its relations (compressive strength, porosity, flow abilities, setting times) have been analyzed for deeper understanding of the effects of individual composite components. Methods which quantify the existence of the newly formed hydration product – ettringite (XRD, SEM with EDS, calorimetry, dilatometry) has been chosen as additional study methods on selected combinations. A working prototype of self-leveling polymer-cement composite was successfully developed based on systematic process and using of testing procedures and measuring methods.

Development of 3D metal printing process parameters for producing of the lattice structure
Jaroš, Jan ; Koutný, Daniel (referee) ; Vrána, Radek (advisor)
Selective laser melting (SLM) in additive technology, which allows production of lattice structures. Lattice structures are very difficult to produce using conventional methods. The main use of lattice structures is in aerospace industry and medicine for bone implants production. In this work influence of processing parameters (laser power, scanning speed) on properties (diameter, surface roughness, porosity) of struts is investigated. The processing parameters selection was based on single tracks test. In the first test, ImageJ was used to determine porosity of struts. In the second test porosity was analyzed with more accurate µCT technology. Both tests used 3D scanning technology to determine dimension accuracy and surface roughness of samples. The measurement results led to the detection of processing parameter „window“ where samles had the best combination of surface roughness and porosity. The best results were achieved with 225-275 W laser power and scanning speed of 1400-2000 mm·s-1.

Advanced ceramics for tissue engineering
Vojtíšek, Jan ; Koplík, Jan (referee) ; Bartoníčková, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals issues of ceramics materials suitable for tissue engineering. An artificial substitute for human tissue can be divided to several generations. This include inert, bioactive and bioresobable materials. Resorbable substitutions are prepared from materials, which could substitute host tissue, for example hydroxyapatite. HA can be prepared in different ways (dry and wet way). To better application in medicine, ceramics foams prepared by in situ foaming or replication technique are using. Experimental part of this paper deals preparing of hydroxyapatite powder and process optimization. Samples was characterized by IR and Raman spectrometry, XRD analysis and particle size was studied by SEM. Ceramics foams was prepared by in situ foaming from Al2O3, HA and composites (in ratio 50 – 50, 75 – 25, 90 – 10). Porosity was evaluated by stereomicroscope, density and level of sintering was studied by SEM microscopy.

Polymeric metamaterials with advanced mechanical properties
Štaffová, Martina ; Lehocký,, Marian (referee) ; Kotoul, Michal (referee) ; Jančář, Josef (advisor)
Práce se zabývá 3D tištěnými polymerními auxetickými strukturami s důrazem na jejich mechanické vlastnosti. Pro zlepšení mechanických vlastností, zejména poměru schopnosti absorpce energie k hmotnosti při tlakovém zatížení, byly použity různé návrhy auxetických re-entrantních struktur. Struktury byly vytištěny pomocí stereolitografické 3D tiskárny. Byl vyvinut a systematicky demonstrován nový nástroj pro komplexní charakterizaci 3D tištěných těles s využitím komerční fotopolymerizační pryskyřice s volnými radikály. Metoda se opírá o statický a oscilační mechanický test kombinující měření teploty průhybu při zatížení (HDT) s dynamickou mechanickou analýzou (DMA) v jediném testu pro rychlou a spolehlivou charakterizaci parametrů určujících chování fotopolymeru při vytvrzování. Byly zkoumány podmínky tisku a doba vytvrzení, aby byl objasněn jejich vliv na vnitřní napětí v 3D tištěných tělesech. Auxetické struktury byly vytištěny pomocí flexibilní a tuhé pryskyřice a byl zkoumán vliv poréznosti, velikosti buněk a strukturálních gradientů na mechanické vlastnosti. Výsledky byly vyhodnoceny z konstrukčního a materiálového hlediska pro fotopryskyřice nad a pod Tg. Nejlepší účinnost absorbování energie byla zjištěna u biaxiálně orientované struktury s nejvyšší lokální porozitou umístěnou ve středu. Prezentovaná data přispívají k základnímu pochopení účinků designu buněk na deformační odezvu auxetických struktur a mohou pomoct při návrhu nových struktur s lepšími mechanickými vlastnostmi. Výsledky zároveň demonstrují všestrannost 3D tisku při realizaci komplexních, přírodou inspirovaných struktur.

The impact of metal powder recycling on the porosity of parts produced by Selective Laser Melting
Sůkal, Jan ; Hudák, Radovan (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with the influence of recycling of powder steel 1.2709 on porosity of parts processed by SLM technology. Theoretical part of this thesis gives an overview of the influence of selected process parameters of this additive technology on the porosity of manufactured parts. The presence of pores in the material is the main cause of worse mechanical properties compared to conventionally manufactured materials. Since the advantage of this technology is the possibility of wasteless production, one of the possible causes of pore formation and degradation of properties of the powder material is due to standard recycling by means of sieving to remove the contaminants generated during the construction. This paper compares the porosity of parts produced by two different machines, analyzes the possible consequences of sieving on powder properties, establishes recommendations for setting the recycling process, and compares the degree of influence of process parameters on porosity.

The effect of aggregate type on the properties of lime mortar
Žižlavský, Tomáš ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (referee) ; Vyšvařil, Martin (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the comparison of the role of different types of aggregates and the binder-aggregate ratio on the properties of lime mortars. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the effect of properties of aggregate, a binder-aggregate ratio and a use of calcareous aggregate, especially limestone, on the properties of mortars. It also deals with the utilization of limestone as aggregate in a history of masonry. In the practical part of the thesis there is a comparison of physically-mechanical and microstructural properties of mortars prepared with different type of aggregate (siliceous sand and limestone aggregate), with varying binder-aggregate ratio and also with a partial substitution of the aggregate by limestone fines. It was found that the usage of limestone instead of quartz sand produces the mortar of comparable properties. The partial substitution of the aggregate with limestone fines caused noticeable growth of strength, especially in mortars with higher binder-aggregate ratio.

Utilisation of brick recycled materials for water retention in soils
Šmírová, Barbora ; Palovčík, Jakub (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with possible utilizations of brick recyclate as an element which cooperates in the field of water retention in the landscape, especially in agricultural soils. Brick recyclate has the same composition and properties as a classic burnt brick, and therefore is very wettable and porous. Above all, these properties are the key element to using brick recyclate as a water holding element in the soil. The aim of this thesis was to determine the ability of brick recyclate to retain water in the soil and then release it back into the soil. Various fractions of brick recyclate were tested experimentally. First experiments were performed with fine quartz sand, and then with two different real samples of soils.. The time for the evaporation of all the added water from the test mixture was assessed. For real samples of soils, experiments continued on the plants under defined laboratory conditions.

Kavka, Lukáš ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
The diploma thesis describes admixtures for concrete. It deals with the influence of admixtures on the properties of cement composites in the fresh and hardened state. The theoretical part described the individual components of concrete, where the main attention was focused to inert admixtures and their effect on mechanical properties, shrinkage, resistance of cement composites to aggressive medium. Furthermore, the effect of admixtures on concretes with recycled aggregates was described. In the first stage of the practical part, cement mortars with 25, 35 and 50% replacement of cement admixtures were created. In the second stage, concretes with admixtures and a minimum strength class of C30/37 and C50/60 were created. Finely ground granulated slag, micronized limestone and granite stone dust were used as admixtures in mortars and concretes. The change of properties in the fresh and hardened state was observed on cement composites.
