Isolation, characterization and application of biomedically important polymer P(3HB-co-4HB)
Krupičková, Kristýna ; Přikryl, Radek (referee) ; Obruča, Stanislav (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the isolation and characterization of copolymer P(3HB-co-4HB). The teoretical part was prepared as a literature search which describe polyhydroxyalkanoates in general, their structure, synthesis, degradation and isolation. Furthermore, copolymers containing 4HB units are mentioned in this thesis and there is also no mentioned of the biosynthesis and biodegradation of copolymer P(3HB-co-4HB). The first aim of this diploma thesis was to find out which solvent is the best for copolymer extraction and then characterize obtained copolymer P(3HB-co-4HB). The isolated copolymer was characterized by gas chromatography, SEC-MALS, thermal analysis and SEM. In the second part of the thesis, release of model biologically active substance from the PHA films was studied. Rhodamine 6G dye was selected for the simulation, which was used to stain the copolymer films and the P(3HB) films. It was observed that film prepared from P(3HB-co-4HB) copolymer released entrapped substance much faster than film made from P3HB homopolymer, and, in addition, the copolymer was substantially more susceptible to enzyme degradation.

Ecotoxicological evaluation of selected monomers using toxicity tests
Šotolová, Ludmila ; Vávrová, Milada (referee) ; Zlámalová Gargošová, Helena (advisor)
Environmental effects of selected monomers, eventually aditives of polymers, will be evaluated by ecotoxicity tests. For this purpose two alternative tests of toxicity: Thamnotoxkit F TM on testing organism Thamnocephalus platyurus and Daphnotoxkit F TM on testing organism Daphnia magna will be used. Two phytotoxicity tests will be also used: Sinapis alba root growth inhibition toxicity test and Allium cepa L root growth inhibition toxicity test. Obtained results enable calculation of value LC50, EC50 and IC50 for tested substances.

Gelcasting of Advanced Ceramics
Veselý, Jan ; Maca, Karel (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
In Bachelor thesis, a literary overview of gelcasting method was worked out and pursuant to this overview, composition of alumina suspension was optimised for fabrication of bulky and complex-shape ceramic part. Four variants of ceramic powder filling in suspensions were prepared. Based on the experiments, a suspension with powder loading of 47,5 vol. % was chosen. The ratio between linear and crosslinking monomers was investigated for this suspension. A suspension with monomer ratio of 4 : 1 (linear : crosslinking) was chosen for preparation of bulky and complex-shape ceramic part. Gelcasting was verified by fabrication of ceramic medal and a knee-joint.

New Gel Electrolytes Based On Copolymers For Electrochemical Power Sources
Peterová, Soňa
This paper deals with description of preparation and use of monomers and copolymers for gel polymer electrolytes usable in electrochemical power sources. The paper is divided in theoretical and experimental part. The theoretical part describes gel polymer electrolytes and chemical substances used for experiments. The experimental part deals with composition of gel polymer electrolytes, method of preparation and evaluation of measured results.
