Design equipment for measurement the surface wettability
Šubrt, Kamil ; Andrš, Ondřej (referee) ; Houška, Pavel (advisor)
This paper describes the design of equipment for measuring the wettability of surfaces. Surface wettability is determined by analyzing the profile drops, in an image taken with a digital camera. After the equipment is required to automatically find and focus the analyzed drops, taking the image, measuring wettability and save the image analysis, including measurement results to a file for subsequent offline analysis and archiving. The proposed facility is designed as a three-axis manipulator. For the driving the axes are chosen stepper motors. A key factor in achieving the highest possible speed measurement is very smooth movement of the manipulator, which is achieved by controlling of motors in microstepping mode with very high resolution. Software entire system is designed in the NI LabVIEW development environment for image processing was used module NI Vision.

Electrochemical Characterization of Nanostructured Surfaces Modified by Substancies with Thiol Bound
Urbánková, Kateřina ; Kynclová, Hana (referee) ; Hrdý, Radim (advisor)
This master thesis deals with nanotechnology, nanoparticles and nanostructured surfaces, electrochemical methods, especially voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and contact angle measurement. One part is focused on electrodes primarily nanostructured and modified by substancies with thiol bound. Tutorial for preparation of gold nanostructured electrods is introduced in practical section including SEM photos of electrode surface. Nanostructured and bare gold electrodes were modified by 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid, streptavidin, glycine and biotin and measured by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and contact angle.

Study of possibilities of increasing the biocompatibility of organic semiconductor surfaces
Malečková, Romana ; Šafaříková, Eva (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibility of biocompatibilization of organic semiconducting polymer PEDOT:PSS using RGD peptide for the construction of biosensors. Samples were prepared and compared where the RGD peptide was bound directly, as well as samples with a peptide bound via crosslinker molecule sulfo-SANPAH. Whether the RGD peptide was bound to the substrate was determined by the method of measuring the contact angle of liquids with subsequent calculation of surface energy. The results were further verified by elemental analysis, infrared spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy.

Fixed-charge examination by surface energy measurement
Mojrová, Barbora ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Hégr, Ondřej (advisor)
This work is deal with development of alternative method measuring fixed charge in thin dielectric layers by surface tension. Presence fixed charge takes effect so-called Back Surface Field (BFS), which helps to decrease surface recombination velocity on back side of solar cell. In work is described experimental measuring on dielectric layers Al2O3, AlN, SiNx, Y2O3 and PSG deposit on crystalline silicon wafers. Surface tension (it is the same like surface free energy) is analyzed from contact angle size using See System.

Surface free energy of plasma polymers
Klepáčková, Barbora Bella ; Dzik, Petr (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá studiem změn volné povrchové energie organokřemičitých plasmových polymerů na základě jejich rozdílných depozičních podmínek. Výpočet volné povrchové energie byl proveden pomocí Owens-Wendt-Kaelble, Wu a acido-bazické teorie. K měření kontaktních úhlů bylo použito čtyř různých testovacích kapalin (voda, formamid, dijodmethan a glycerol). Pro tenké vrstvy plasmového tetravinylsilanu připraveného s efektvním výkonem 2, 10, 25, 70 a 150 W byla naměřená volná povrchová energie mírně vzrůstající.

Self-assembled layers based on silicon
Bábík, Adam ; Veselý, Michal (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
Thin film deposition, characterization and properties of self-assembled monolayers based on silicon were studied with emphasis on the SA monolayers deposited from vinyltriethoxysilane and vinyltrichlorsilane. The thesis is aimed at basic properties of the SA monolayer and explanation of its growth. Methods and techniques used for analysis of the monolayer were described as well. Contact angle measurements and an evaluation of the surface free energy are depicted in details. The deposited SA layers were observed with respect to their chemical composition and surface morphology by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as a nanostructured bioelectrodes characterization method
Vrbová, Eva ; Urbánková, Kateřina (referee) ; Hrdý, Radim (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals of nanostructured surfaces, nanoparticles and electrochemical characterization methods such as cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The aim of this thesis is a theoretical research issues of production and characterization nanostructured modified electrodes. The practical part is the production of biomodified nanostructured electrodes by anodi- zation W/Al layers with galvanic deposition of gold or deposition of mercury, a modifi- cation of the electrodes by 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid and by bovine serum albumin (BSA). The thesis includes SEM images of nanostructured electrodes contact angle mea- surements of these electrodes and form an electrical circuit with subsequent simulation waveforms.
