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.

Preparation of methacrylated hydroxybutyrates monomers and polymers
Liška, Marek ; Mgr. Petra Zbořilová, Ph.D (referee) ; Figalla, Silvestr (advisor)
The aim of this work is the study, design, and preparation of methacrylated derivatives of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and the subsequent preparation of polymers from the prepared precursors. A total of six compounds were prepared. The prepared compounds include methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate and ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate prepared by alcoholytic depolymerization with monofunctional alcohol and their methacrylated derivatives. The preparation of ethylene glycol terminated oligomer of 3-hydroxybutyrate prepared via depolymerization using ethylene glycol in two ways is also an essential part of the work. The first way involves depolymerization using conventional heating and the second one explores the preparation of a series of oligomers with different molecular weights using microwave heating. Methacrylated derivatives of the prepared oligomers were also prepared. The prepared compounds and their actual preparation are characterized using multiple analytical methods including VPO, NMR, GPC, FT-IR, LC-MS, and DSC. A series of polymers were obtained from the prepared compounds by radical polymerization using purple light (with wavelength 405 nm) as the energy source. The prepared polymer networks were characterized by DSC and their tensile strengths were tested.
