PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOPOLYMER-BASED NANOPARTICLES AND NANOFIBERS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN FOOD AND COSMETICS
Kundrát, Vojtěch ; Vilčáková, Jarmila (referee) ; Kráčmar, Stanislav (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The presented dissertation thesis deals with the polymer polyhydroxybutyrate and other biopolymers as a basic building block for the construction of micro- and nanoscopic structures and materials used in food and cosmetics. In the theoretical part, current literary review is prepared to introduce the basics of this application field. The practical part of the work is composed of three blocks developed during the doctoral study. In the first and most important part are summarized comments to the academic and patent outputs, where among the academic ones it is possible to find two peer-reviewed articles dealing with the electrostatic and wet spinning of PHB and properties of prepared materials. The patent outputs consist of several accepted and applied projects, which summarize results on both PHB spinning methods, but also on general approaches enabling the processing of PHB into forms enabling many applications in food and cosmetics. Second part was focused on the patented composition of the UV protection cream based on the prepared nanoscopic and micro- morphologies of PHB. The third block summarizes results focused predominantly on the electrostatic spinning of PHB and other biopolymers. Finally, a short chapter containing a brief description of projects that were in a way related to the dissertation topic, but rather practical development work in Central Tanzania and West Africa, which draw on knowledge and contacts gained during studies at FCH BUT Brno.

Question of PET bottles recyclation: Current state and perspectives
Duliková, Michaela ; Stoupalová, Michaela (referee) ; Čáslavský, Josef (advisor)
This thesis is deals with the process of recycling of PET bottles from the sorting of waste up to the using of recycled material, so-called “PET flakes“. The attention is paid mainly to the process of the physical recycling. The dry recycling process is compared with the wet recycling process from the point of view of applied technology and quality with focus on the final product (PET flakes) from the wet recycling process. As the quality is concerned, presence of blockers and polyvinyl chloride, which causes the most serious problems during recycling, is discussed. Employed technologies as well as quality requirements for spinning, producing PET strapping band, recycling by the bottle to bottle form (B2B) and other possibilities of the usage of recycled materials are also described.
