Photopolymerization
Kučera, Vladimír ; Petrůj, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kučera, František (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the photochemistry of macromolecular substances, especially with photopolymerization and photocrosslinking reactions. In the theoretical section there is at first a summary of the current knowledge from the area of the general photochemistry and principles of photochemical reactions which are also applied in photopolymerization. There are also both types of photopolymerization analysed – cationic and free-radical, photocrosslinking reactions and photopolymerization applications. In the experimental part, the testing of two fotopolymerization systems was performed. In both of them, styrene was used as a monomer. In one case benzoin was used as a photoinitiator, in the second one there was benzoin ethyl ether used. Furthermore, the photoinitiation ability of these two photoinitiators was compared at the base of conversion and molecular weight of products that were synthetized at different concentrations of photoinitiators and different time periods of irradiation of the mercury lamp.

The Study of Polyolefins Photochloration
Kučera, Vladimír ; Tocháček, Jiří (referee) ; Petrůj, Jaroslav (advisor)
This Master´s thesis deals with heterogeneous photochlorination of polyolefins and especially with the photochlorination of polypropylene itself. In the theoretical part the available information about properties, manufactory and application of chlorinated polyolefins, specifically polyethylene and polypropylene, is provided. The basic principles of the photochemistry are described, which are further applied to the issue of photochemistry chain reactions and photochemical halogenations, mainly photochlorinations. The practical part includes design and realization of few types of equipment for the heterogeneous photochlorination of polypropylene done at low temperatures (to 50° C) by gaseous chlorine in bulk or chlorine suspended in suspension of PP in CCl4. Series of chlorination was accomplished, which was varied in the type of PP, in the way of dosage Cl2 and in the period of high pressure mercury lamp irradiation (1–90 minutes). The chlorine content in prepared samples was determined by the gravimetry with ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, as well as by the Shöniger combustion method. Their accuracies were than compared. The chlorine content dependence on the period of chlorination and on the porosity of initial PP was established.

Advanced plasmonic materials for metasurfaces and photochemistry
Ligmajer, Filip ; Vala,, Milan (referee) ; Bauch, Martin (referee) ; Šikola, Tomáš (advisor)
Plazmonika, tedy vědní obor zabývající se interakcí světla s kovovými materiály, nabízí ve spojení s nanotechnologiemi nezvyklé možnosti, jak světlo ovládat a využívat. Výsledkem tohoto spojení může být například zaostřování světla pod difrakční limit, zesilování emise nebo absorbce kvantových zářičů, či extrémně citlivá detekce molekul. Tato práce se zabývá zejména možnostmi využití plazmoniky pro vývoj plošných optických prvků, tzv. metapovrchů, a pro fotokatalytické aplikace založené na plazmonicky generovaných elektronech s vysokou energií, tzv. horkých elektronech. Nejprve jsou vysvětleny teoretické základy plazmoniky a je poskytnut přehled jejích nejvýznamnějších aplikací. Poté jsou představeny tři studie zabývající se využitím plazmonických nanostruktur pro ovládání fáze a polarizace světla, pro vytváření dynamicky laditelných metapovrchů, a pro foto-elektrochemii s horkými elektrony. Společným prvkem těchto studií je pak používání pokročilých, resp. v rámci těchto oblastí netradičních, materiálů, jako např. oxidu vanadičitého nebo dichalkogenidů přechodných kovů.

Catalytic and photochemical cycloadditions of alkynes
Fadeev, Aleksandr ; Kotora, Martin (advisor) ; Pour, Milan (referee) ; Parkan, Kamil (referee)
Novel approaches to utilizing alkynes in transition metal-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloadditions and photochemical [2+2] cycloadditions were investigated with respect to the potential applications of these transformations. First, a chemo- and regioselective fully intermolecular cocyclotrimerization of internal alkynes with a commercially available ethynyl boronate was developed using Ru-catalysis and its mechanism was examined using DFT calculations. The established method allows for a straightforward preparation of various 1,4-diborylated benzenes, which can serve as multifunctional building blocks in organic synthesis. In particular, the products can be used in cross-coupling, carbonylation and oxidation reactions to access a broad variety of contiguously substituted arenes, such as natural products mirandamycin and violaceoid C. Second, a comparative study of catalytic and uncatalyzed photocycloadditions between alkynes and quinones was undertaken. Contrary to the recent reports, irradiation with visible light alone is sufficient to obtain not only the [2+2] cycloaddition products, but also several products of cascade transformations. Thus, depending on the structure of the quinone used, either carbo- or heterocycloaddition pathway is mainly realized, giving rise either to annulated cyclobutenes or...

Exploration of extraterrestrial body impact and UV-driven transformation of atmospheres of terrestrial planets
Knížek, Antonín ; Ferus, Martin (advisor) ; Kabáth, Petr (referee) ; Kopecký, Vladimír (referee)
Keywords: Exoplanets, Earth, Impact, Photochemistry, Infrared Spectroscopy, Atmospheric chemistry Impacts and photochemistry are two very important driving forces for chemical transformation of planetary atmospheres. While strong UV radiation produced by young stars continuously provides a significant amount of energy, impacts are one-time events with far-reaching consequences. Especially important are then impacts on young rocky planets, including the early Earth, because these planets are likely exposed to much higher impact fluxes, commonly called 'heavy bombardment'. This bombardment is the final echo of the turbulent planetary accretion and has prominent significance for planetary environments, e.g., the chemical composition and shape of the planetary surface, the chemistry of atmospheres, aerosol production, and likely the origin of life. Future observations of exoplanets by space telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope or Ariel, as well as ground-based telescopes, such as the Extremely Large Telescope currently under construction in Chile, could determine whether this heavy bombardment represents a common scenario for the evolution of terrestrial planets. Both impacts and photochemistry can be efficiently simulated and studied in laboratory conditions by state-of-the-art methods....

Material printing upscaling of chemical sensors to R2R techniques
Fanglová, Michaela ; Krystyník, Pavel (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
The main task of the diploma´s thesis was to prepare mixtures for printing ozone and UVB sensors. Subsequently, to optimize the compositions and rheological properties of these mixtures for the preparation of chemical sensors for printing by production R2R machnies, including their calibration to detect required doses of ozone and UVB radiation. The experimental study focoused on the laboratory preparation of mixtures for chemical sensors and their subsequent conversion and printing on semi-operational and production R2R machines. The transfer of production to a larger scale was achieved through changes in the rheological properties of the compositions. The prepared ozone sensors were exposed to different ozone doses and their color change was monitored as a function of the ozone dose. The UVB sensors were calibrated to the required UVB dose and their colour response to the UVB dose was monitored.

Kočišek, Jaroslav ; Fárník, Michal (advisor) ; Klán, Petr (referee) ; Glosík, Juraj (referee)
Title: Implementation of ion imaging technique in experiments with free molecules, clusters and nanoparticles Author: Jaroslav Kočišek Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor: Mgr. Michal Fárník, PhD., DSc., Ústav fyzikální chemie J. Hey- rovského, AV ČR, v.v.i. Abstract: The experimental work is focused on implementation of novel tech- niques to study clusters and nanoparticles in molecular beams. A new exper- imental system was tested, which combines the technique of velocity map ion imaging with pulsed molecular beam source. The same method and new mass spectrometer were implemented on the apparatus with molecular beam of size selected clusters. The new methods were used to study environmental effects on photo and electron induced chemistry. The most important results concerns on influence of expansion conditions on the structure of formed neutral clusters of HBr and C2H2. Results of experiments with HNO3 and CF2Cl2 molecules are then crucial for understanding heterogeneous processes in the Stratosphere. Keywords: ion imaging, mass spectrometry, molecular beams, photochemistry, nanoparticles
