The influence of simulated body fluids on the apatite production
Horváthová, Lenka ; Beranová, Denisa (referee) ; Bartoníčková, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the interaction of various simulated body fluids with ceramic biomaterials. It includes fluid preparation, sample preparation and subsequent analysis of their interaction. Individual samples of biomaterials were exposed to a simulated body fluid for a certain amount of time. After this time, a change in the calcium and phosphorus content of the solutions was determined. At the same time, an electron microscope analysis of sample surface was performed where the dependence of calcium and phosphorus changes was demonstrated. Electron microscopy analysis revealed the formation of new phases on the surface of the studied materials.

Study of interaction of HA / biosklo based composites in simulated body fluid
Riša, Juraj ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Bartoníčková, Eva (advisor)
This work deals with bioceramic materials based of hydroxyapatite, bioglass and their composites. These materials are commonly used in medicine, especially as hard tissue substituents. They can be prepared by different types of syntheses, from which the most common were picked for this work – precipitation of hydroxyapatite and sol-gel method for bioglass. Thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction were used for characterization of prepared powders. This thesis studies mostly their features within the composite materials, which were foamed for better bone stimulation. Properties and possibility in bio application of materials is firstly studied through their interaction in simulated body fluids, which mimics ionic concentration of human plasma. Experimental part covers synthesis of ceramic powders, their characterization, preparation of mixtures and scaffolds foamed through in situ foaming, their sintering at ideal temperatures, characterization of porosity and phase changes due to sintering. Basic tests of apatite formation ability were provided by incubation of prepared scaffolds in simulated body fluid for 3, 7, 14 and 21 days and their assay in scanning electron microscopy. Changes in concentration of Ca2+ a PO4 3- ions as well as in weight of the specimen were tracked within the incubation period.

Electrochemical characteristics of AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloys in Hanks‘ solutions
Minda, Jozef ; Wasserbauer, Jaromír (referee) ; Tkacz, Jakub (advisor)
This thesis deals with the characterization of electrochemical corrosion properties of magnesium alloys as promising materials for biomedical applications. The wrought alloys AZ31 and AZ61 were used and exposed to corrosive environments of Hanks solutions (SBF) to simulate environmental conditions in living organisms. For the evaluation of the surfaces was used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with elemental analysis measured by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Short-term (5 min) and long-term (72 h) corrosion tests were conducted in order to optimize the measurement methodology and obtain corrosion parameters - especially corrosion potential (Ekor), corrosion current density (ikor) and polarisation resistance (RP). To evaluation of the short-term tests were by potentiodynamic tests, namely the linear polarization (LP) test. Long-term tests were measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Effects of the composition of the alloys (AZ31 and AZ61), surface treatment (grinding and polishing) and the composition of the solution (SBF without Ca, Mg, and with Ca, Mg) were compared. Complex corrosion behaviour in time was characterized and corrosion mechanisms were discussed.
