BRK Technologies s.r.o. - Laser incineration of toxic medical wastes: towards to 100% safety
Rostohar, Danijela; Bulgakova, Nadezhda M.; Flimelová, Miroslava
2015 - English
The aim of the project is to design, construct and optimize a prototype of a laser incineration chamber (LICh) for treatment of toxic medical wastes. The LICh must provide safe incineration of organic wastes by an intense laser beam generating very high temperature of the incineration process. The LICh and involved technology must be relatively cheap and mobile for easy installation near the medical institutions producing toxic wastes. The most important aspect is the control of incineration products to ensure 100% safety of the gases issuing into atmosphere from the LICh. This is the first step of the whole project with aim to do the state of the art study and propose next steps.

Investigation of thermal depolarization in high-power TGG ceramic rods
Lucianetti, Antonio
2015 - English
Wavefront deformation and thermal stress birefringence were evaluated for high-power TGG ceramic rods. The real laser beam profile used to heat the TGG ceramics was considered in the calculations. The numerical model was bench-marked with experimental data at about 100 W and then used to study the scalability of a similar TGG-based optical isolator up to 1 kW average power.

In situ XPS characterization of diamond films after AR.sup.+./sup. cluster ion beam sputtering
Artemenko, Anna; Babchenko, Oleg; Kozak, Halyna; Ukraintsev, Egor; Ižák, Tibor; Romanyuk, Olexandr; Potocký, Štěpán; Kromka, Alexander
2015 - English
In this work, in situ XPS analysis of chemical composition of H- and O-terminated nano- and microcrystalline diamond (NCD and MCD) films before and after their sputtering by the Ar+ cluster ion beam was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed sputtering of all diamond surfaces with a rate about 0.5 nm/min. Raman spectroscopy and XPS revealed surface graphitization of diamond surface induced by sputtering. Moreover, XPS data showed the presence of about 0.7 % of Ar atoms on the investigated diamond surface after 66 min of sputtering. Also, oxygen residuals were still presented on the H-NCD surface after 66 min of sputtering. In contrast, no oxygen was found on the H-MCD surface just after 2 min of sputtering. Surface composition is discussed in respect to the diamond films growth parameters and surface structure.

Wettability enhancement of polymeric and glass micro fiber reinforcement by plasma treatment
Trejbal, J.; Šmilauer, V.; Kromka, Alexander; Potocký, Štěpán; Kopecký, L.
2015 - English
Plasma treatments were used to modify surface properties of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and glass micro fibers, to improve their wettability. PET fibers, having diameter of 400 μm, and glass fibers (14 μm) were exposed to low pressure oxygen plasma. A direct horizontal optical method was used for contact angle measurements on fiber surfaces submerged into distilled water. Surface morphology changes before and after treatment were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Finally, cement paste specimens reinforced with PET and lime-based mortars reinforced with glass fibers were made and after 28 days of mixture curing tested by four-point bending tests. After oxygen plasma treatment contact angles decreased by 60 % on PET fibers and by 25 % on glass fibers in comparison with untreated fibers. Next, SEM images revealed the significant surface damages of PET fibers and minor damages of glass fibers. Both four-point tested samples reinforced with treated fibers exhibited the maximum bending strength loss about to 10 to 20 percent compared to samples with untreated reinforcement.

Fabrication methods of diamond coated Love wave SAW biosensors for bacterial detection applications
Drbohlavová, L.; Bulíř, J.; Valeš, Václav; Jákl Křečmarová, M.; Taylor, Andrew; Talbi, A.; Soltani, A.; Mortet, Vincent
2015 - English
Pathogen detection has a huge importance in the food industry and it can play significant role in the medical practice. This paper focus on the fabrication methods of diamond coated Love wave surface acoustic wave (LW-SAW) biosensors for bacteria detection. LW-SAW sensors have been fabricated on AT-quartz crystals. Interdigitated transducers have been patterned by RF sputtering and photolithography techniques. Amorphous silicon oxide (SiO2) guiding layer and nano-crystalline diamond layer were both deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at low temperature. Preliminary experimental study of diamond surface termination for sensors bio-functionalization is also reported.

Influence of incorporated nanodiamond particles on mechanical properties of composite material based on multi-layer PVA nanofiber textiles
Prošek, Zdeněk; Indrová, K.; Rácová, Z.; Ryparová, Pavla; Nežerka, V.; Topič, J.; Tesárek, Pavel; Kromka, Alexander
2015 - English
The present study investigates the influence of NDP on mechanical properties of multi-layer PVA nanofiber textiles. The particles of a diameter equal to 5 nm were incorporated into double- and triple-layer textiles, while the single-layer samples were prepared as the reference. The diameter of PVA nanofibers varied from 100 to 300 nm. We characterized the tensile strength, stiffness and ductility of fabricated nanofibers by using a conventional method – a tensile test. We found that the NDP-enriched nanofibers reveal antibacterial character. However, none or negligible influence of NDP additions on the tested mechanical properties was observed.

Fabrication of 3D diamond membranes for microfluidic systems
Varga, Marián; Babchenko, Oleg; Bauerová, Pavla; Hruška, Karel; Jurka, Vlastimil; Kromka, Alexander; Rezek, Bohuslav
2015 - English
Perfusion of cell medium, especially in microfluidic devices, can provide in-vivo-like conditions for cell cultures. The most recent demand on such systems is to include electronically active artificial cell support for in-situ monitoring. Diamond thin films exhibit advantageous combination of physical, mechanical, chemical, biocompatible and electronic properties for this purpose. In this work we explore two strategies for fabrication of self-standing three-dimensional nanocrystalline diamond membrane for implementation in microfluidic invivo like experiments: i) nucleation and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of diamond on porous 3D carbon foam (with 80 pores per inch) and ii) selective diamond growth predefined by photolithographic processing using copper grid mask. The morphology and material quality of the fabricated membranes are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

(100) substrate processing optimization for fabrication of smooth boron doped epitaxial diamond layer by PE CVD
Mortet, Vincent; Fekete, Ladislav; Ashcheulov, Petr; Taylor, Andrew; Hubík, Pavel; Trémouilles, D.; Bedel-Pereira, E.
2015 - English
Boron doped diamond layers were grown in an SEKI AX5010 microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition system. Effect of surface preparation, i.e. polishing and O2/H2 plasma etching on epitaxial growth on type Ib (100) HPHT synthetic diamonds were investigated. Using optimized substrate preparation, smooth (RRMS ~ 1 nm) boron doped diamond layers with metallic conduction and free of un-epitaxial crystallites were grown with a relatively high growth rate of 3.7 μm/h. Diamond were characterized by optical microscopy, optical profilometry, atomic force microscopy and Hall effect.
