The content of this diploma thesis was testing the applicability of available structural analysis techniques on a appropriate model hydrogel system. The main aim was to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of selected structural analysis techniques and the influence of the composition change of the hydrogel system on its internal structure. Semi-interpenetrated hydrogels based on agarose of different concentration were chosen as model system, this type of material was chosen for simple and repeatable preparation and also for its application potential. Electron microscopy (SEM, cryoSEM), mercury porosimetry and turbidimetry were chosen as structural analysis techniques. Experimental results could be used to improve knowledge about the influence of hydrogel composition on its structure and the comparison of chosen techniques will be used for the choice of appropriate structural analysis in the future, which will be applicable to other hydrogel systems as well.
