The aim of master thesis was to study structural and transport properties of PVA films modified with method of semi-IPN with suitable polyectrolytes and plasticizers. The first important step was optimalization of PVA films preparation, when time of heating was set at 90 °C for 1 hour. Drying was set at 50 °C for 24 hours. Molecular weight of PVA was chosen 85–124 kDa in concentration 10 wt.%. For preparation of PVA-based semi-IPN thin films polyelectrolytes (polyglutamic acid, DEAE-dextran hydrochloride) and plasticizer (glycerol) were selected. Basic characterization of prepared materials was performed with FTIR, TGA, SEM and specific surface analysis. The difference between modified PVA films was in the chargé of individual functional groups carried by used polyelectrolytes. Surfaces of all the PVA films were smooth without visible defects. Transport properties were characterized with the method of horizontal diffusion cell with methylen blue used as a probe. Diffusion coefficients of methylen blue through PVA films were determined. It was found, that the fastest pass was throw PVA film without additives. The slowest diffusion was observed through PVA/DEAE-dextran film, because of the same charge of the film with a probe. PVA/PGA reacted with methylen blue to form a complex. Plasticizer effect on the diffusion was only minor; it caused a slight decrease of diffusion coefficient. These films were easier to handle.

This doctoral thesis is focused on the preparation of graphene layers by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and their utilization for fabrication and characterization of field effect transistors. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with different methods of graphene production and measurement of its transport properties. In the first part of the experimental section the growth of polycrystalline graphene and individual graphene crystals with sizes up to 300 m is investigated. Further, graphene layer was also grown on an atomically flat copper foils, which were fabricated in order to achieve the growth of graphene of higher quality. Subsequently, the transport properties of field effect transistors produced from the grown layers were measured. The last two chapters deal with a doping of graphene layer by gallium atoms and X-ray radiation. Whereas the deposition of gallium atoms on the graphene surface causes chemical doping of graphene layer by charge transfer, X-ray irradiation of graphene field effect transistors induces the ionization of positively charged defects in dielectrics, which electrostatically dope a graphene layer.

This master thesis deals with a durability of concrete, which has become the centre of the interests of international scientific insitutes during the last years. The resistence of reinforced concrete depends on the covercrete which the aggresive liquids and gases penetrate through from the environment to reinforcement. According to the ability of the covercrete to penetrate degradative species is possible to tell the durability of concrete constructions. In experimental part we look for the actual state of covercrete, ordinary and high strength, by combination of various experiments. We can find here the test´s results of water and gas permeability and absorbability and sorption of concrete which complete the permeability tests. In final part the impact of different concrete types on durability of reinforced concrete is discussed.

This diploma thesis was focused on study of barrier and transport properties of selected polyelectrolytes in hydrogel matrices by using diffusion techniques. The study of these properties was performed in horizontal diffusion cells where is observed the change in diffusion probe concentration over time. Diffusion experiments were performed on an agarose hydrogel with the addition of alginate, hyaluronic acid, polystyrene sulfonate, humic acids and as a model probe rhodamine 6G was used. Important parts of this thesis are also the methods which characterize the substances and hydrogel matrices such as rheology and potentiometric titration. The main aim of this diploma thesis was to investigate the effect of interactions between passing model dye (rhodamine 6G) and the appropriate gel (agarose + polyelectrolyte) on the fundamental diffusion parameters (effective diffusion coefficient, lag time, etc.).

High-resolution Thomson scattering system on the COMPASS tokamak provides electron temperature and density profiles in the central and edge plasma region. The spatial resolution in the edge plasma region is optimized for edge transport barrier studies. Formation of characteristic edge profiles (pedestals) is observed during high-confinement mode, i.e. the core electron temperature and density are raised up by the value of pedestal height. Both the electron and density pedestals are well-fitted by a modified hyperbolic tangent (mtanh) function, a five parameter model giving important parameters such as pedestal height and width, necessary for further analysis of the physics behind the transport barrier formation. A fitting technique of the full radial profiles of electron temperature, density and pressure during H-mode is also described. Using the fitting, electron temperature and density on top of pedestal are statistically processed to find a possible threshold for various H-mode regimes.
