Preparation of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) based acrylic monomer
Liška, Marek ; Přikryl, Radek (referee) ; Figalla, Silvestr (advisor)
The main aim of this thesis is to research and prepare acrylic (methacrylic) monomers derived from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate). The monomers were prepared in two-step syntheses. In the first step P3HB was depolymerised with selected alcohols and afterwards, products of those syntheses were used as substrate and mixed with polymethylmethacrylate to produce their methacrylic derivates. The selected alcohols for the alcoholysis were ethanol and ethylene glycol. In total, four substances were prepared. Products of alcoholysis were ethyl-3- hydroxybutyrate, 2-hydroxyethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate and their methacrylic derivates. Significant part of this thesis is aimed towards the analysis of prepared substances and the analysis of reactions. In the process, titrations and instrumental methods, such as gel permeation chromatography (GPC), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used. This work describes preparation and analysis of polymers prepared from methacrylates from the mentioned syntheses. Cross-linked polymers, because of their low glass-transition temperature are elastomers.

Polylactide chemical recycling to Lactide
Kučerová, Eliška ; Pospíšilová, Aneta (referee) ; Figalla, Silvestr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with chemical recyclation polylactide to lactide. In the theory is summarized actual state of knowledge about chemical recyclation of polylactides, their properties, preparations a possibilities of characterization. Experimental part of work verify ethanolysis of PLA withthe samples of granulate, waste filaments and textiles. In the experimental work is suggested an optimalization of alcoholysis to direct yield of oligomer suitable for depolymerization to lactide. This method was verified for 5 different samples of PLA, which 4 of them was made of waste PLA. The time needed for depolymerization was evaluated and the effect of catalysis. Lactide and PLA recyclates was further analyzed by NMR, FTIR, DSC and GPC.

Waste Recycling Possibilities of Rigid PU Foams from the Production of KingSpan CZ
Figalla, Silvestr ; Kučera, František (referee) ; Petrůj, Jaroslav (advisor)
The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis evaluates methods and trends of recycling polyurethane materials with the emphasis on rigid polyurethane foams used as thermo isolation building material. The experimental part is focused on glycerol process verification as an alcoholization agent in the regenerative process of polyol, together with perspective microwave heating of reaction mixture. The final part of the work suggests further steps in the development of above mentioned process with the aim of its transforming into technical practice.

Optimization of Microwave Glycerolysis of Crosslinked Rigid PU Foams for Using Recyclate in Production
Figalla, Silvestr ; Kučera, František (referee) ; Petrůj, Jaroslav (advisor)
The theoretical part summarizes the chemical recycling processes of polyurethane and polyisocyanurate insulation foams and methods of polyols preparation from their alcoholysates. Emphasis is placed on the use of microwave heating during depolymerization, as a perspective energy source for chemolysis processes. The practical part is focused on optimization of recyclates preparation derived from polyisocyanurate foams and polyethylene terephthalate by microwave enhanced glycerolysis. Recyclates obtained were verified for their workability and applicability in blends with virgin polyols in polyisocyanurate foam manufacture process.
