Diploma thesis main goal is to obtain new pieces of knowledge about relationship between hydrogel structures and its flow and transport properties. Thesis is mainly focusing on combining pertinent biopolymers into model hydrogels based on agarose. Then perform correlation of results obtained by diffusion methods, and by rheologic measurements on macroscopic and microscopic level. Properties of hydrogels were measured by selected rheologic measurements, dynamic light scattering method, and correlative fluorescence spectroscopy. From these methods various parameters (MSD modules, values of complex viscosity) were obtained. Afterwards transport properties of prepared hydrogels were studied by observing Rhodamine 6G diffusion. Here two different approaches were used. From macroscopic perspective, simple principles of mass diffusion from dye solution to cuvettes filled with hydrogels containing individual biopolymers were used. From microscopic perspective, dye was added during the sample preparation and then the mass diffusion was investigated using FCS. Based on evaluated results it was discovered that added biopolymers don’t influence properties of carrier medium, in this case agarose hydrogels. During the study of prepared hydrogels’ reactivity and barrier properties some differences were observed. Charge of biopolymer and its charge density were discovered as main factors influencing transport of charged solutes into prepared hydrogels.
