Biofunctionalization of water soluble CdTe quantum dots
Šibíková, Anna ; Drbohlavová, Jana (referee) ; Pekárková, Jana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the research on biofuncionalization of water-soluble glutathione modified CdTe quantum dots (QDs). The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is a theoretical introduction to the QDs and their synthesis, modifications and applications in biology together with an introduction to proteins and bioconjugation of QDs and BSA. In the second part I present the experimental results of water-soluble glutathione modified CdTe-GSH QDs preparation. The QDs were cleaned and bioconjugated with BSA at different concentrations. This is described in the third part of the thesis. I also discuss the obtained experimental results in the frames of available literature.

Synthesis and sintering of zirconia based ceramics for biomedical applications
Jahodová, Daniela ; Novotná, Lenka (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
The present thesis focuses on the preparation of tetragonal zirconia doped with yttria oxide, ceric dioxide, and magnesium oxide. In its theoretical part the thesis covers the characteristics of doped ceramics, the possible methods of powders preparation and of their further processing. The experimental part describes the precipitation synthesis of zirconia in base environment and further processing for ceramics. Also studied were the influences of dopant and of the processing technique used on the phase composition and microstructure of the resulting ceramics. To describe the powder structure, the thermal, dilatometric, surface area, and x-ray analyses were performed; as well as both the scanning and transmission electron microscopy employed. Dry processed ceramics showed the average grain size of 87–94 nm and the relative density in the range of 84,0–99,3 %. In comparison, the ceramics produced of hydrothermally synthesised powders proved the average grain size of 75–85 nm and the relative density between 92,7-99,9 %. As the next step, samples were subjected to low-temperature degradation for the time of 5 and 15 hours. Samples consisting of pure tetragonal ZrO2 were resistant to 5 and 15 hours of low-temperature degradation at 180 °C.

Preparation of modified tricalcium aluminate phases and study of their hydratation processes
Vávrová, Alžběta ; Koplík, Jan (referee) ; Másilko, Jiří (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the preparation of modified tricalcium aluminate phases using sodium ions, and the study of their hydration processes and products. The X-ray diffraction analysis, isothermal calorimetry, laser diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersion analysis were used to solve this task. The preparation of modified tricalcium aluminate phases using high temperature methods has been described in the experimental section. Furthermore, the X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the purity of the prepared phases and the scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersion analysis was used to define the volume of sodium. Laser diffraction was used to measure a particle size distribution in the individual phases. Subsequently, hydration of the pure phases was performed in an isothermal calorimeter. It was followed by hydration of phases in the presence of different gypsum content and then in the presence of saturated portlandite solution. Hydration of some samples was stopped in order to better understand the hydration process. Hydration products were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The obtained results were compared with each other and the influence of sodium ions on both the structure of the prepared phases and the course of hydration and its products has been discussed. The effect of adding different volumes of gypsum and portlandite on the course of hydration of the individual phases was also compared.

Lanthanocene Catalysts for Synthesis of Polymers Applicable in Medicine
Slanina, Ondřej ; Kábelová, Božena (referee) ; Richtera, Lukáš (advisor)
The theoretic part of the thesis focuses on materials used in medicine. The metallic, ceramic, glass-ceramic and polymer materials are systematically described. The biocompatibility of the materials and possible threads of their usage for manufacturing of medicinal devices and implants are emphasized in the discussion. The work is focused especially on polymer materials. Different types of polymerizations are summarized with the accent on the preparation of biodegradable materials. In the practical part the synthesis of two organometallic bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) sandwich complexes with holmium and gadolinium as a central atom designed for preparation of materials suitable for biomedicine is proposed.

Synthesis of quantum dots for in-vivo imaging
Ferdusová, Helena ; Majzlíková, Petra (referee) ; Pekárková, Jana (advisor)
The aim of this work was to synthesise water-soluble QDs using different precursors and stabilizers and to determine the toxicity of the synthesized QDs by in vivo imaging. Experiments were performed on water-soluble QDs (MPA-CdTe, MPA-CdTe/ZnS, MSA-CdTe, MSA-CdTe/ZnS, GSH-CdTe, GSH-CdTe/ZnS, TGA-CdTe, TGA-CdTe/ZnS, GSH-ZnSe and GSH-ZnSe/ZnS ) and toxicity was measured. Synthesized QDs were characterized by high intensity (fluorescence spectroscopy), FWHM and zeta potential (ZS Zetasizer) were selected due to their suitability for this task. The toxicity of QDs was determined by the MTT assay on the cell line HEK 293. The experiments show that a core/shell structure is less toxic than a core structure. The results indicate that the toxicity of our synthesized QDs is the lowest for MPA-CdTe (core structure) and MPA-CdTe/ZnS (core/shell structure).
