Modern finishing methods of implant processing
Večeřa, Tomáš ; Ohnišťová, Petra (referee) ; Píška, Miroslav (advisor)
This paper provides a general overview of joint implants and an overview of used contemporary materials and methods of fabrication of implants, including additive methods. More attention is paid to finishing methods of drag finishing and a new method of dry electropolishing used in DLyte system. In the experimental part, an experiment for analyzing and comparing the effect of DLyte system on a sample surface is proposed. Six samples of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V with different initial roughness are prepared. Their initial surface structure is studied.

UHV-EC transfer system for electrochemical surface science studies
Jakub, Zdeněk ; Vanýsek, Petr (referee) ; Bartošík, Miroslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the combined ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and electrochemical (EC) studies of selected iron oxide surfaces, namely Fe3O4(001) and -Fe2O3(012). The state-of- the-art knowledge regarding these surfaces is briefly reviewed, and importance of understanding these materials in the electrochemical environment is discussed. The design of the transfer system between UHV and EC environment is presented; individual features of the system are thoroughly discussed and the system is used for testing the stability of the Fe3O4(001) (2×2)R45° surface reconstruction in ambient conditions. The experimental results presented in this thesis show that the Fe3O4(001) (2×2)R45° reconstruction, utilized as an adatom array for single atom catalysis studies, survives both exposure to air and to liquid water, if the exposure is achieved in well-controlled fashion. Further, this thesis presents the first-ever atomic scale scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of the -Fe2O3(012) surface, which is important for photoelectrochemical water splitting. STM images of two surface reconstructions of the -Fe2O3(012) surface known to date are presented. A bulk terminated model of the (1×1) reconstruction is confirmed and a novel surface structure model for the (2×1) reconstructed surface is proposed. Adsorption studies of H2O and O2 on the (2×1) reconstructed surface are documented by timelapse STM.

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.

The Use of a Waterjet Technique in Finishing Operations
Jantač, Marek ; Osička, Karel (referee) ; Kalivoda, Milan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with abrasive waterjet cutting. In the first part we dis-cuss the possibility of using an abrasive jet in various industries, its advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, abrasive jet machining methods such as cutting, turning and milling. Then focuses on the technology at AWAC company, which were cut off samples for subsequent measurement. The aim of the measurements was to determine and compare the surface roughness of the samples were cut at different parameters.
