High frequency electron spin resonance spectroscopy
Hrubý, Jakub ; Perfetti, Mauro (referee) ; ShangDa, Jiang (referee) ; Neugebauer, Petr (advisor)
Elektronová spinová rezonance (ESR) je neinvazivní spektroskopická technika založená na magnetické rezonanci. Používá se v mnoha vědních oborech jako biologie, chemie a fyzika pro zkoumání systémů s nepárovými elektrony. Tato dizertační práce se věnuje spektroskopii vysokofrekvenční rezonance spinů elektronů (HF-ESR) a jejímu použití na paramagnetické koordinační sloučeniny. V první části je představen teoretický základ s rešerší literatury v této oblasti a jsou představeny aplikace HF-ESR. Dále jsou představeny metody použité ke studování těchto systémů. Zde jsou popsány doplňující metody (XPS, RS, UV-VIS, AFM, SEM) pro zkoumání vzorků a je představen návrh nové sublimační komory vysokého vakua, která byla sestavena pro tvorbu tenkých vrstech koordinačních sloučenin na površích. Následují výsledky dosažené pomocí HF-ESR na molekulárních kvantových bitech [Cu(dbm)2], jednomolekulárních magnetech [CoX2(dppf)], [Co(4MeO-L)2Cl2] a je nastíněna vize bolometrů na bázi grafenu pro detekci této třídy sloučenin. Výsledky jsou diskutovány a jejich implikace jsou shrnuty v závěru. Reference a autorské výstupy pak uzavírají celou tuto práci.

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.

Carbon nanoparticles from South Moravian lignite
Drozdová, Miroslava ; Enev, Vojtěch (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of isolation of carbon nanoparticles from lignite, which seems to be their cheap source. The aim of this work is to elaborate a research on the use of coal matrices as a source of carbon nanoparticles and also to design and perform further experiments testing the usability of South Moravian lignite. Based on the literature search, a simple mechanochemical procedure was proposed to obtain carbon nanoparticles from lignite. The lignite was mechanically stressed by the ultrasonic disintegrator with simultaneous action of water or hydrogen peroxide. Lignite has been able to isolate particles fluorescing in the blue visible light, but the process will need to be further modified. However, South Moravian lignite could be a source of carbon nanoparticles.

Carbon nanoparticles from lignite
Kohoutková, Eliška ; Enev, Vojtěch (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
These bachelor thesis focuses on lignite as a potential raw material for the carbon quantum dots extraction. There was proposed mechanochemical process of isolation these nanoparticles from lignite based on literature search. Lignite was mechanically stressed and subsequently oxidized to hydrogen peroxide. The results show that proposed method will have to be modified but lignite could be used as a feedstock for the carbon quantum dots extraction.

Application of nanofillers into thermoplastics
Žák, Luboš ; Žídek, Jan (referee) ; Kučera, František (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the search of the state of knowledge in the preparation, properties and applications of nanocomposites with thermoplastics polymer matrix and different types of nanofillers in theoretical part. Methods for the preparation of nanocomposites and techniques used for their characterization are clearly describes. The first method for preparing nanocomposites is an application of nanofiller to the polymer solution with subsequent removal of the solvent. The second method is the dispersion polymerization of nanofiller in the monomer. The last one is the application of nanofiller in the dispersion of ethanol into the polymer melt. The experimental part deals with the preparation of foils for characterization of rheological properties of nanocomposites at first. Polystyrene was polymer matrix and selected nanofillers was applied to the polymer solution and then it was removed the solvent. The second method was the preparation of nanocomposites dispersion polymerization of nanofillers in the monomer. The method in-situ preparation of nanocomposite is based on the thermal initiated polymerisation of styrene in the dispersion of nanofillers with the selected type radical initiator. The third proposed method was the application of ethanol dispersion of fillers into the polymer melt in the Brabender mixer.

Investigation of nanomaterials for their nuclear power and research utilization
Jelínek, Martin ; ČEZ,, Jiří Skalička, (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the properties of various nanomaterials and summarizes the latest findings and knowledge of advanced applications in all sectors of nuclear power engineering from construction materials through nuclear fuel, fuel cladding, neutron moderator and coolant to the advanced methods for detection of ionizing radiation ad its direct utilization for electricity production. A significant space is devoted to the applications in safety systems of nuclear power plants. The experimental part of the thesis deals with the possibility of using carbon nanofibers as an additive to the coolant in VVER reactor type in order to improve the thermal properties of the coolant. So far a very little examined issues of neutron balance changes due to interaction with nanoparticles was experimentally verified on the paraffin wax mixture of two different concentrations. The comparison with the reference sample of pure paraffin was also made.

Nanotechnology educational and research center (NanoArch)
Hamdanieh, Livine ; Boleslavská, Yvona (referee) ; Žalmanová, Petra (advisor)
„Science, the Never-Ending Quest.“ The diploma thesis deals with a proposal of science center aimed at promoting science and education in the field of nanotechnology. The aim of the project is to design a science center that will complement the existing building complex of CEITEC Nano BUT but also through its architectural expression represent the value of such institution and enable it to stand out among the existing buildings, allowing it to become the new center „brain“ of the complex. Nanotechnology represents a significant sphere of the scientific world that holds big potential for the future in various industries including architecture and building construction. The aim of the diploma thesis is thus not only to design new science center but also to raise awarness of nanotechnolgy. The design proposal is based on simple geometric shape - circle which is segmented into three parts. Logical shape of circle complements the already existing complex and becomes the new center point "brain" of the whole complex. The symbol of infinity that circle and Mobius strip represent is associated with the never ending scientific research as the science itself is at the end nothing but a "never ending quest".

The use of micro and nanotechnology to develop ultra high strength and high performance concrete with special features
Vlč, Viktor ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The use of nanotechnology has become wide spread in all branches of science. Nanotechnology help us to understand microstructure and due to the world has started to produce new materials. One of many examples carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In diploma thesis I tried to find the way of successful introduction into concrete mixture. I was studying influence of CNTs and other nano particles and I was comparing them with referential samples (without CNTs). Also I tested the improvement of mechanical characteristics of concrete. The morphology of nano particles was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results show that introduction of nanoparticles to results in increasing strength and higher density. That is why High Performace Concrete so resistant and durable.
