Wood microstructure analysis onto the strength parameters
Martinek, Radomír ; Kuklík,, Pavel (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
This work focuses on a closer examination of the microstructure of wood and the relationship between microscopic and mechanical properties of wood. The main point of the practical part of this study is a measurement of microfibril angle (MFA) in the S2 layer of a wood cell wall. This layer occupies more than 80 % of the total thickness of the cell wall and thus has the greatest influence on the mechanical properties of the wood cells. MFA values as well as values of bulk density show a strong dependence on the modulus of elasticity in the longitudinal direction, as well as on the values of shrinkage. The theoretical part involves methods for measuring MFA, variations of MFA, wood properties evolving from the MFA and also mechanical properties of wood cell walls measured by nanoindentation.

Method´s analysis of submicroscopy structure of wood cell wall determination
Martinek, Radomír ; Kuklík,, Pavel (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
The content of this study is focused on the influence of the structure of wood at microscopic and submicroscopic level on its mechanical properties. The wood cell wall consists of several layers, the dominant layer being layer S2, which occupies up to 80 % of the total thickness of the wood cell wall. Unique feature of this layer is that cellulose microfibrils placed in this layer are highly aligned and spirally wound around the cell axis. The inclination of these microfibrils is called microfibril angle (MFA) and is the key feature that affects mechanical properties of wood and its shrinkage. In theoretical part of this thesis methods for measuring microfibril angle are described. A method for measuring mechanical properties of the wood cell wall called nanoindentation is discussed in detail. In the practical part of this thesis, microfibril angle is measured by means of polarized light microscopy and mechanical properties of wood cell wall is determined by means of nanoindentation.
