  1. Advanced ceramic materials and composites with multifunctional properties

    The development in the field of advanced ceramic materials is directed to so-called multifunctional materials characterized by appropriate combination of mechanical, optical, electrical or magnetic properties. The design such materials includes selection of input powder precursors as well as advanced methods of their shaping and sintering leading to desired, usually heterogenous, microstructures. The aim of the dissertation work will be utilization of modern approaches of ceramic processing technology (plasma activation of precursors, dry and wet shaping methods, pressure-less or pressure-assisted sintering in various atmospheres) for preparation of multifunctional ceramic materials and composites, including evaluation of their properties linked to possible application. Thesis will be supported by running mentor’s projects, such as „Utilization of theoretical and experimental approaches to sintering for tailoring the microstructure and properties of advanced ceramic materials“, „Physical activation of ceramic particles surface towards improved fine-grained advanced ceramics“, or „Transparent Alumina for Energy Saving Light Sources”.

    Tutor: Maca Karel, prof. RNDr., Dr.

  2. Application of rapid sintering for local arrangement of ceramic microstructures

    Development of advanced ceramic materials has emphasis on understanding the mechanical properties of ceramics and on improving their strength, toughness and damage resistance. Microstructure tailoring is crucial tool for this research, however localized microstructure tailoring is limited by possible localization of chemical or density compositions. The aim of this Ph.D. study is an investigation of the local application of rapid heating on microstructure tailoring. The proposed research is mainly focused on energy transfer via radiation and its new potential for control of microstructure. Future applications are in development of unique ceramic microstructures with better mechanical properties.

  8. Controlled life-span polyolefins

    The ability of plastics to serve during their real application is a primary prerequisite of their commercial success. In the last few decades, however, much effort was given to their ability to get disintegrated after finishing their service. Despite there exist commercially available polymers with the controlled life-span, such as polylactic acid (PLA) or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), their prices and properties still do not match those of polyolefins, which are the cheapest and most produced plastics on the market (polyethylenes HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and its copolymers). The objective of this doctoral thesis should be investigation of complex prodegradant systems for selected polyolefins, where the polymer life-span will be given by the controlled release of prodegradant system from micro-/nano- heterogeneous domains inside the polymer matrix, activation of prodegradant by outer impact such as absorption of radiation of appropriate wavelength or by deactivation of stabilizer protective system already present in the matrix.

  11. Effect of nanoparticle filler on physical behaviour and performance of stabilizer system in polymer

    Effectiveness of stabilizers (antioxidants) in the polymer matrix is given not only by their chemical structure enabling them reactions with oxidative degradation intermediates, but also by their mobility within the polymer matrix and resisting the outer deteriorative impacts, capable of decreasing their level in polymer. Physical behaviour of stabilizer in the polymer matrix basically influences its polymer-protective performance. The presence of modifying nanofiller, which even in relatively low concentrations effectively impacts the physical behaviour of macromolecules and consequently changes physical properties of polymer matrix, influences also the behaviour and effectiveness of stabilizer system. Investigation of the effect of presence of nanofiller on behaviour and function of particular groups of polymer stabilizers (processing, long-term, UV) in dependence on their chemical structure should be the objective of this doctoral thesis.
