Atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) have received significant attention due to their
combination of simplicity, low cost, and wide possibilities for surface treatment and …

A critical overview of current approaches to the development of starch-containing packaging,
integrating the principles of green chemistry (GC), green technology (GT) and green …

In this work we report the surface modification of different engineering polymers, such as,
polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) by an …

Aging phenomenon or hydrophobic recovery of plasma-treated surfaces is a major concern
in various fields of application. Post-plasma decay of treatment level can lead to problems …

Tailoring the surface properties of nanocellulose to improve the compatibility of components
in polymer nanocomposites is of great interest. In this work, dispersions of nanocellulose in …

This chapter gives an overview of different methods for improving surface properties of
plastics. Plastics are inherently hydrophobic, low surface energy materials and thus do not …

In this paper, we report the degradation of four organophosphorus toxic compounds
(Chlorpyrifos, Dimethoate, Parathion, and Dimethyl methylphosphonate) from aqueous …

Interaction of a cold atmospheric pressure micro-plasma jet with different types of substrates
having a range of electrical permittivity (ε r), such as conductor (copper), semiconductor (p …

(Zr, Ti) CN hard coatings, deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on Ti6Al4V alloy and Si
substrates, were investigated as possible candidates to be used as protective layers for …

ABSTRACT A uniform plume with pulsed discharges is generated through using a plasma
brush excited by a direct current power supply. The results indicate that the plume length …
