Properties of fibers based on polyhydroxybutyrate
Štulrajterová, Lujza ; Tocháček, Jiří (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
Táto práca sa zaoberá zvlákňovaním biopolymérov z taveniny. V teoretickej časti sú zhrnuté doterajšie poznatky o zvlákňovaní poly(3-hydroxy butyrátu) (PHB) a poly(mliečnej kyseliny) (PLA). Následne boli zvláknené polymérne zmesi na báze PHB s rôznym zložením, čo umožnilo štúdium vplyvu PLA, zmäkčovadiel a ich množstva na vlastnosti pripravených vlákien. Boli použité tri komerčné zmäkčovadlá (ATBC, PEG, A6) a dva experimentálne syntetizované. Zvláknenie bolo prevedené na troch rôznych zvlákňovacích linkách. Konvenčné zvlákňovacie linky s odťahovými rýchlosťami nad 150 m/min sa preukázali ako nevhodné pre spracovanie našich zmesí. Kvôli nedostatočnej pevnosti taveniny sú potrebné nízke odťahové rýchlosti. Boli pripravené vlákna s dĺžiacim pomerom 6,4; ktoré boli následne analyzované pomocou GPC, MDSC a ťahovej skúšky. Na základe nameraných teplôt skelného prechodu zmäkčovadlá ATBC a PEG vykázali lepšiu schopnosť zmäkčiť skúmané PLA/PHB zmesi. Vlákna obsahujúce A6 vykazovali najvyššiu pevnosť v ťahu (250 MPa) a modul pružnosti (2,7 GPa). Nakoniec bol skúmaný vplyv starnutia, tepla a vriacej vody na mechanické vlastnosti týchto vlákien.
Biodegradable thermoplastics from renewable resources
Březinová, Štěpánka ; Kučera, František (referee) ; Petruš, Josef (advisor)
The theoretical part of diploma thesis summarizes the state of the art in the field of biodegradable thermoplastic materials, emphasizing polymeric materials made from renewable sources and the possibilities for their processing and for the modification of their useful properties. The experimental part of the thesis is focused on the preparation and characterization of biodegradable polymer blends based on thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (ECX). A suitable type of TPS was selected according to the rheological behavior of the melt for blending with ECX via extrusion technology. The degree of compatibility between TPS and ECX was evaluated by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and by examining the morphology of TPS/ECX blends using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Affecting the mechanical properties, rheological behavior, and wettability of the prepared TPS/ECX was verified by testing the mechanical properties under tensile stress, determining the melt flow index (MFI), employing the oscillatory rheological test, and determining the maximum wettability. The experimentally obtained results show the possibility of optimizing the mechanical and rheological properties of TPS by blending with ECX. In terms of biodegradability, blends with a majority TPS content can be assumed to be more advantageous.

Strain field reconstruction of drawn polymer blends based on videorecording of stretching process
Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Krofta, Josef ; Blaháček, Michal ; Raab, Miroslav
Tensile tests of polypropylene and its blends with polyethylene and other additives have been recorded by digital camcorder. Acoustic emission (AE) was monitored during tests by two transducers attached to test samples, allowing linear location of AE**ces. Tested materials exhibit large localized plastic deformation - necking - reaching hundreds of percent before failure. Image analysis procedure is designed for quantitative evaluation of axial and lateral strains and strain rates along the sample

Calculations of phase equilibria for polymer blends
Živný, Antonín
Methods of calculations of phase equilibria in polymer blends with specific interactions are analyzed on the basis of the quasichemical Barker theory. Particularly, numerical solution of the equation of the spinodal and subsequent construction of curves of phase coexistence in these systems are performed.
The effect of compatibilizers on morphology and mechanical behaviour of polyetylene/polypropylene blends
Raab, Miroslav ; Ščudla, Jaroslav ; Baldrian, Josef ; Nezbedová, E.
Two ethylene-propylene copolymers differing in ethylene content and crystallinity were used as compatibilizers in blends of high-density polyethylene and isotactic polypropylene. The results suggest that the amorphous compatibilizer is superior to the other copolymer. It forms an interphase between the polyethylene and polypropylene domains thus improving the interfacial adhesion and material toughness.
Vývoj fázové struktury při toku polymerních směsí
Fortelný, Ivan
State of art in description of the phase structure development in flowing polymer blends is discussed. It is shown that the rule satisfactorily predicting a type of the phase structure does not exist. Graphic solution of the equation describing dynamic equilibrium between the droplet breakup and coalescence provides satisfactorily prediction of the dependence of average droplet size on system parameters.
