Additional reinforcement of wood elements
Janoušek, Radek ; Vejpustek,, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of additional reinforcement of wooden elements using different types of BFRP materials. In the practical part, an experiment of reinforcing plywood with external reinforcement using BFRP fabrics with different basis weights was performed. As part of the strength tests performed, the specimens were subjected to bending and shear stresses. To verify the bonding quality of the plywood, the bodies were exposed to the effect of elevated temperature and a delamination test was performed to determine the bonding quality of the plywood joints. The achieved values were evaluated and compared with the available literature.

Preparation and Characterization of Porous Magnesium Based Materials
Březina, Matěj ; Pacal, Bohumil (referee) ; Vojtěch, Dalibor (referee) ; Ptáček, Petr (advisor)
Bulk magnesium materials produced nowadays via powder metallurgy are based on a vastly extensive technological spectrum, which makes it possible to create a wide range of materials. This work focuses on the preparation of bulk materials from magnesium powder by cold pressing and hot pressing, sintering and field assisted sintering. The bulk materials were prepared in a series of compacting pressures from 100 MPa to 500 MPa and the sintering temperatures were selected in the range of 300 ° C to 600 ° C in order to characterize the influence of the manufacturing conditions and technology on the final properties of bulk materials. Prepared materials were evaluated in terms of microstructure, hardness, microhardness, three-point bend test, and fractography. From the hot pressed materials, the samples prepared at 400 and 500 MPa and 400 °C had the highest strength and hardness. The classic sintering of magnesium in the furnace with argon atmosphere proved to be ineffective due to the oxide layer on the surface and the presence of oxygen in technical argon. The SPS sintering (Spark Plasma Sintering) was the more effective with the lower applying pressure used to make the preforms and with the higher applied pressure during the SPS process itself. Highest strength and hardness were achieved in this case of materials sintered at 600 ° C prepared from free powder and the most porous preform (100 MPa). The bulk materials were prepared using all methods used, but the properties of these materials varied considerably depending on the technology used.

Brickmaking grogs and their thermo-dilatometric determination
Hladík, Václav ; Skotal, Zbyněk (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
Main focus of the bachelor´s thesis is use of rock waste fraction as an alternative raw material to traditional quartz sand. Effect of this substitution on ceramic produts properties is outlined. Key properties are water absorption, flexural strength and compressive strength. The practical part traces the potential of alternative grogs. Their behavior is monitored by DKTA analysis, water absorption tests and strength tests. Thesis includes author´s suggestion of an optimal grog based on publications and results of the practical part.

Flexular Strength and Hydrolytic Stability of FRC/PFC Dental Bi-Material
Dombková, Julie ; Trautmann, Radoslav (referee) ; Poláček, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with the flexural strength of FRC/PFC dental bi-materials and their resistance degree to hydrolysis degradation. The block-shaped samples were exposed to the flexure in three points. The strength and modulus of elasticity were measured by multi-purpose test device called Zwick Z0100. Electron scanning microscope was used for observation of disrupted localities. From the outcomes gained result that the mechanical characteristics are affected by dipping of fibre composite, spatial organization of the support, water absorption of materials used and the matrix and the support adhesion.

Innovative wood-based materials
Buriánek, Vlastimil ; Brožovský, Jiří (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the issue of optimizing the modification process for plywood boards. Optimization consists mainly in evaluating different densification methods with different parameters of plasticization and stabilization. Psychical parameters (bulk density, swelling, water absorption) and strength parameters (bending strength, modulus of elasticity) of modified plates were chosen for the evaluation parameters. The practical part involved the verification of two thickening treatments on birch plywood.

Hybrid dental composites combining short fibers and particulate fillers
Klieštiková, Nikola ; Přikryl, Radek (referee) ; Bystřický, Zdeněk (advisor)
This work deals with the hybrid composite material combining particulate filler with short fibers for dental applications. The barium micro-filler and the short glass fibers were treated with -methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane in cyclohexane using n-propylamine. The barium micro-filler and the short glass fibers were mixed with the matrix based on a dimethacrylate resin. The effects of the addition of short glass fibers on mechanical properties were studied. Surface treatment of the filler was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Fracture surfaces and the adhesion to the matrix was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The modulus of elasticity and strenght was determined by three point bending flexural test. Critical values of the stress intensity factor annd energy release rate were determined using the three point bending flexural test of notched specimens. The particulate filler increased the flexural modulus of elasticity and fragility. The addition of short fibers had little effect on flexural modulus of elasticity, but increased the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the specimen.

Polymer-cement composites of increased refractoriness
Žůrová, Marcela ; Mončeková, Miroslava (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The subject of the barchelor thesis is the preparation of high-strength polymer – cement composites based on the calcium aluminate cement and polyvinylalcohol. For macrodefect–free (MDF) composites are characterized by low porosity and the absence of microcracks. The main problem of the MDF composites is decreased resistance to water or moisture, with a decrease in strength. These compounds are interesting with its mechanical properties, which are greater than the strength of common materials (wood, glass, PMMA,…). Represent perspective type of material that could be used for construction purposes. The thermal degradation of the polymer, however, there are changes in the structure of the composite and to the deterioration of mechanical properties. This thesis is focused on characterization of the effect of temperature change on the structure, material composition and mechanical properties. The MDF composites were prepared based on calcium aluminate cement, which was gradually replaced by refractory additives. During the work was carried out tests of bending strength at various temperatures. Changes in the composition and structure were characterized by TG – DTA, XRD and SEM analysis.

Influence of zinc on mechanical properties of cement composites
Štarha, Tomáš ; Šilerová,, Iva (referee) ; Šiler, Pavel (advisor)
The theme of this bachelor thesis is to monitor the effect of zinc on mechanical properties of portland cement. Zinc was tested in the form of zinc oxide. Three acceleration additives were added, calcium oxide, formic acid and calcium formate in various proportions. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of all these mixtures were monitored by measuring flexural strength and compressive strength at 7 and 28 days after mixing and mixtures were analyzed by XRD and DTA. Also using isoperibolic calorimetry, the hydration of CEM 42.5 R cement zinc oxide was monitored.
