1. Advanced ceramics for magnetic-electric applications

   Advanced oxide ceramics for magnetic-electric applications in experimental cycle preparation-characterization-modification.

   Tutor: Šoukal František, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

2. Biocorrosion-resistant concretes

   The work will study the possibilities of protection of concrete elements exposed to the environment rich in algae, mosses etc. The work will deal with the possibilities of protection of current concrete elements which undergo the biocorrosion due to algae growth, also it will be focused on the incorporation of protection agents from such processes straight into the fresh mixture, so the concrete surface can be biocorrosion resistant.

   Tutor: Šoukal František, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

3. Bulk-volume produced wastes as a new raw materials resource

   The doctoral thesis will deal with screening and analysing of some bulk-volume produced wastes mostly from power and metal industry. Based on the analysis results the following experiments will search for conventional mostly inorganic production processes and the efforts will be made to replace as much raw material by the secondary raw material as possible. Selected secondary raw materials are expected to be applied in practice.

10. Non traditional combined reinforcement applied in inorganic binding systems

    The research within this Ph.D. these will be divided into the branches of particle based, fiber based and combined composites. Various types and combinations of reinforcement in composites based on inorganic matrix will be studied and compared. Works will also include research on composites with alkali activated aluminosilicate matrix. Also the optimal reinforcement of composites, materials, shape and applicability from the viewpoint of corrosion and used binding system will be investigated

    Tutor: Ptáček Petr, prof. Ing., Ph.D.

11. Preparation of tobermorite

    The work will deal with the study upon the formation of tobermorite and with the explanation of kinetics of processes, which take place during the tobermorite formation. The aim is to find propper raw materials and the method of tobermorite preparation. The work will study the regular hydrothermal process from common raw materials as well as new methods of the tobermorite preparation i. e. the sol-gel process.

14. Structural, Magnetic and Electrical Properties of Spinel Ferrite Nanoparticles

    Investigation of relations among the preparation conditions , size of nanoparticles distribution, crystal structure, electrical and magnetic properties.

    Tutor: Šoukal František, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

15. Study of ring formation in cement rotary kilns

    The work will be focused on the study of the rings formation mechanism in the in cement rotary kilns. The unfavorable rings built-up and their growth cause irreversible decrease of inner place of the kilns and ends with the furnace shutdown. The main emphasis will be given on bulk analyses of the reactants - “cement meals”, formed stickers, kiln `s lining beneath and around of the new-formed rings and finally fuels. On the base of obtained results the conditions and kinetics of rings’ formation will be determined. Under the determined findings the rings` formation and growth prevention will be suggested.

    Tutor: Havlica Jaromír, prof. Ing., DrSc.

16. The possibilities of using waste water from concrete plants and similar operations

    Tutor: Ptáček Petr, prof. Ing., Ph.D.

17. The role of limestone in blended portland cements

    Doctoral thesis will be focused on the study of the influence of limestone content in miscellaneous Portland cements during the setting and hardening processes. The main goal will be to describe reactivity of limestone and influence of limestone bulk properties as chemical composition, phase composition, morphology, texture, crystal defects and specific surface on the formation and character of phase interface limestone/C-S-H gel.
