Study possibilities of nanotechnology in cement composites
Kardošová, Romana ; Bodnárová, Lenka (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The aim of this paper is to summarize and assess the possibility of using nanoparticles as additives in concrete. These particles have the ability to improve the mechanical and physical properties of cement composites or even gave them brand new ones. Industrial use is hampered by effective incorporation of nanoparticles into the matrix, the health and environmental risks and, last but not least, the financial costs. The experimental part of the thesis deals with the dispersing nanosilica and nanometakaolin particles in aqueous solution and their subsequent integration into the structure of cement mortar.

High-grade concrete using nanoparticles
Labaj, Martin ; Bodnárová, Lenka (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The aim of this paper is to summarize and assess the possibility of using nanoparticles as additives in high performance concrete. These particles have the ability to improve the mechanical and physical properties of cement composites or even gave them brand new ones. Industrial use, however, is hampered by several obstacles. In particular, it is the task of effective incorporation of nanoparticles into the matrix, the health and environmental risks and, last but not least, the financial costs. The experimental part of the work deals with the first-mentioned problem, namely with dispersing carbon nanotubes in aqueous solution and their subsequent integration into the structure of cement mortar.

Measurement and toxicity of combustion generated nanoparticles
Sikorová, Jitka ; Topinka, Jan (advisor) ; Klusoň, Petr (referee) ; Bláha, Luděk (referee)
This thesis is focused on nanoparticles produced by internal combustion engines utilized in vehicles. It deals with spatial distribution of nanoparticles within urban areas, impact of alternative fuels usage on particle production and toxicity, and a particle toxicological testing methodology. Monitoring of airborne nanoparticles identified traffic as the main source of airborne nanoparticles in places with heavy traffic load (Prague), as well as in a small city with only local traffic (Čelákovice). Most particles were likely emitted during short episodes of high emissions (e.g. uphill acceleration). During the measurements, high-emission vehicles responsible for a large fraction of the air pollution were also identified. On the other hand, small non-road internal combustion engines, which are not subject to any limit on particle emissions, such as a lawn mower, were operated during the measurement and generated a large number of nanoparticles. The amount and characteristics of the particles produced by combustion depend on the combustion technology and the fuel composition. A large part of the thesis deals with alternative fuels and their effects on the quantity of produced particles and toxicity of organic matter adsorbed on the particles. Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) exhibited the lowest...

Impact of input parameters on the quality of mixing dispersion of nanoparticles
Cederová, Kristýna ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with nanoparticles. It examines the process of dispersion of nanoparticles in particular. Nanoparticles have the ability to improve some physical properties of cement composite materials. One, but important obstacle for correct application of nanoparticles is its dispersion. The experimental part of the thesis is dedicated to the dispersion of nanoparticles. Properties of cement composites were set in a time of 7 and 28 days. Nanoparticles were examined under transmission electron microscope.

Study of dispersion of carbon nanotubes in cement composites
Michnová, Kamila ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
Carbon nanotubes have the ability to improve the mechanical and physical properties of cement composites. However, their introduction into industrial utilization is hampered by several obstacles. It primarily involves the effective incorporation into the cement matrix, health and ecological risks. The experimental part of the work deals with the dispersing carbon nanotubes in aqueous solution and their subsequent integration into the structure of the cement matrix.
