Transport of drugs in humic hydrogels
Shalabodova, Kseniia ; Krouská, Jitka (referee) ; Klučáková, Martina (advisor)
Presented bachelor’s thesis focuses on the study of diffusion of drug in humic hydrogels. The aim of the work was to appraise the effect of the presence of the humic substances in the transport capacity of the diffusing compound. The main idea of experimental part was to compare the drug’s transport in samples of humic acid gels with the transport in agarose hydrogels samples. For this study diffusion couple method was used which was based on monitoring the development of diffusion profiles of drug in gels with the passage of time. As a diffusing medium sulfapyridine belonging to sulfonamide antibiotics class was used.

Optimization of optical and transport properties of PVA based hydrogels
Zahrádka, Jan ; Kalina, Michal (referee) ; Sedláček, Petr (advisor)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is to design and optimize a suitable method for preparation of transparent physically crosslinked hydrogels with manipulable transport properties. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) crosslinked by cyclic freezing and thawing was chosen as the model gel-forming material. From the originally proposed three mechanisms of influencing optical properties of thus prepared PVA gels, the influence of freezing rate was selected on the basis of pilot screening experiments for a deeper follow-up analysis. The mechanical properties of prepared hydrogels were analyzed by rheology using strain sweep test. The internal structure was visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimized technique for preparation of transparent PVA gels was subsequently used for preparation of gels with an interpenetrated polyelectrolyte component (poly (styrene sulfonate)). It was then experimentally verified by diffusion pair method with methylene blue as diffusion probe that the hybrid hydrogel network has modified transport properties.
