Synthesis of block copolymers by ring-opening polymerization and post polymerization modification with phenylboronic acid
Dudičová, Dorota ; Uchman, Mariusz Marcin (advisor) ; Strachota, Adam (referee)
This thesis deals with the synthesis of propargyl-functionalized amphiphilic diblock copolymers, poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene oxide), PgCL-PEO via Ring Opening Polymerization (ROP) using monohydroxyl-terminated PEO block as the macroinitiator and its post polymerization modification via Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Click reaction (CuAAC) to introduce phenylboronic acid functionality into block copolymers. A reproducible synthetic protocol was developed for preparation of well-defined functional diblock copolymers. The amphiphilic block copolymers were characterized in terms of molecular weight and dispersity by various techniques: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI ToF) Mass Spectrometry. Keywords: Amphiphilic block copolymers, CuAAC click, phenylboronic acid, poly-ε- caprolactone, ring-opening polymerization

Derivatization of the micro-samples of natural polymers with similar composition for FTIR analysis
Dudičová, Dorota ; Červený, Václav (advisor) ; Dian, Juraj (referee)
in English This master thesis is focused on verifying the possibility of optimizing FTIR spectrometric analysis of terpenic resins using derivatized (fluorinated) samples using XtalFluor-E in combination with triethylamine trihydrofluoride as an agent. Terpenic resins have very similar FTIR spectra, so for their better differentiation, they need to be derivatized to minimize the influence of overlapping spectral bands in FTIR spectra. This work aimed to create a methodology for derivatization of samples of natural polymers for the National Technical Museum in Prague, where the work was performed. Samples of terpenic resins were measured non-fluorinated by the ATR crystal method and by transmission, after fluorination, only the ATR crystal method was used. Different fluorination conditions, different times (2, 4, 6, 24 and 96 hours), the effect of sample rinsing (diethyl ether, ethylene tetrachloride) and the effect of matrix on the sample (KBr pellet) were tested. Fluorination has shown to be effective. Four hours of fluorination and the need to rinse the sample with diethyl ether were chosen as the optimal fluorination conditions. After testing the resins themselves, fluorinated samples of violin varnishes and samples of historical varnishes from harp and piano were analyzed. Their spectra before...
