2. Alkali activated systems

   The work will be focused on the study of alkali activated systems. One of main subjects the work will deal with is the process of alkali activation itself from the viewpoint of the type of alkali activator for particular system. As for the activators also a few selected secondary raw materials produced in the Czech Republic will be tested. Non-traditional compositions will be tested within the alkali activated systems, mostly based on the industrialy produced secondary raw materials. The work will endeavour after the description of processes, which take place at the alkali activation and their products.

4. Biocorrosion-resistant concretes

   The work will study the possibilities of protection of concrete elements exposed to the environment rich in algae, mosses etc. The work will deal with the possibilities of protection of current concrete elements which undergo the biocorrosion due to algae growth, also it will be focused on the incorporation of protection agents from such processes straight into the fresh mixture, so the concrete surface can be biocorrosion resistant.

5. Bulk-volume produced wastes as a new raw materials resource

   The doctoral thesis will deal with screening and analysing of some bulk-volume produced wastes mostly from power and metal industry. Based on the analysis results the following experiments will search for conventional mostly inorganic production processes and the efforts will be made to replace as much raw material by the secondary raw material as possible. Selected secondary raw materials are expected to be applied in practice.

6. Mechanisms of increasing of corrosion resistance of non-ferrous alloys.

   Tutor: Havlica Jaromír, prof. Ing., DrSc.

7. Non traditional combined reinforcement applied in inorganic binding systems

   The research within this Ph.D. these will be divided into the branches of particle based, fiber based and combined composites. Various types and combinations of reinforcement in composites based on inorganic matrix will be studied and compared. Works will also include research on composites with alkali activated aluminosilicate matrix. Also the optimal reinforcement of composites, materials, shape and applicability from the viewpoint of corrosion and used binding system will be investigated.

8. Preparation of tobermorite

   The work will deal with the study upon the formation of tobermorite and with the explanation of kinetics of processes, which take place during the tobermorite formation. The aim is to find propper raw materials and the method of tobermorite preparation. The work will study the regular hydrothermal process from common raw materials as well as new methods of the tobermorite preparation i. e. the sol-gel process.

9. Structures that increase corrosion resistance of ferrous alloys

   Tutor: Havlica Jaromír, prof. Ing., DrSc.

10. Thin organic films for application in the organic electronics

    The work includes thin organic film preparation with novel large area covering thin film deposition methods, mainly electrophoretic deposition. A device for electrophoretic deposition will be modified and developed. The films will be characterized with traditional characterization techniques, structures for photoelectrical measurements will be prepared and tested.
