    Šafaříková, Eva; Ehlich, Jiří; Stříteský, Stanislav; Vala, Martin; Weiter, Martin; Pacherník, Jiří; Kubala, Lukáš; Víteček, Jan (MDPI, 2022-01-20)
    Organic semiconductors are constantly gaining interest in regenerative medicine. Their tunable physico-chemical properties, including electrical conductivity, are very promising for the control of stem-cell differentiation. ...

  • Effect of alkali salts on the hydration process of belite clinker 

    Iliushchenko, Valeriia; Kalina, Lukáš; Sedlačík, Martin; Cába, Vladislav; Másilko, Jiří; Novotný, Radoslav (MDPI, 2022-05-10)
    Belite-rich cement represents one of the low carbon footprint binders. Nevertheless, its use is ac-companied by a low initial rate of hydration. This can be partially eliminated by the grinding to high specific surfaces ...

  • Degradation of P(3HB-co-4HB) Films in Simulated Body Fluids 

    Vodička, Juraj; Wikarská, Monika; Trudičová, Monika; Juglová, Zuzana; Pospíšilová, Aneta; Kalina, Michal; Slaninová, Eva; Obruča, Stanislav; Sedláček, Petr (MDPI, 2022-05-13)
    A novel model of biodegradable PHA copolymer films preparation was applied to evaluate the biodegradability of various PHA copolymers and to discuss its biomedical applicability. In this study, we illustrate the potential ...

  • Microstructural Characterization of Laser Weld of Hot-Stamped Al-Si Coated 22MnB5 and Modification of Weld Properties by Hybrid Welding 

    Šebestová, Hana; Horník, Petr; Mikmeková, Šárka; Mrňa, Libor; Doležal, Pavel; Novotný, Jan (MDPI, 2021-07-14)
    The presence of Al-Si coating on 22MnB5 leads to the formation of large ferritic bands in the dominantly martensitic microstructure of butt laser welds. Rapid cooling of laser weld metal is responsible for insufficient ...

  • Stress Effect of Food Matrices on Viability of Probiotic Cells during Model Digestion 

    Skoumalová, Petra; Hoová, Julie; Ryšávka, Petr; Márová, Ivana (MDPI, 2021-07-05)
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of model (alcohol, sugar, salt, protein and acid) and real foods and beverages on the viability of probiotics during incubation and artificial digestion. Viability of ...

  • Biotechnological Conversion of Grape Pomace to Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by Moderately Thermophilic Bacterium Tepidimonas taiwanensis
