The application of gas discharge plasmas has assumed an important place in many
manufacturing processes. Plasma methods contribute significantly to the economic …

DBD-induced surface modification is very versatile to increase the adhesion or hydrophilicity
of polymer films. In this paper, the DBD is produced by repetitive unipolar nanosecond …

In atmospheric-pressure plasmas the main electron heating mechanism is Ohmic heating,
which has distinct spatial and temporal evolutions in the α and γ modes. In γ discharges …

In this work, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film was modified by exposure to a dielectric
barrier discharge argon plasma. The plasma was generated by a sinusoidal power supply …

This paper reports polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) surface modification by atmospheric-
pressure oxygen dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to improve its biocompatibility …

The surface modification of ground tire rubber (GTR) powder to enhance its adhesion to
nitrile rubber (NBR) vulcanizates was investigated. The hydrophobic surface of GTR powder …

This paper reflects on the future of low‐temperature plasma science in relation to the
manufacturing and novel uses of glass. The text summarizes the current state of the art on …

Nitrogen rich plasma polymer films (L‐PPE: N) were prepared by low‐pressure RF plasma
using a 1: 1 mixture of ethylene and ammonia and aged for 345 d in four different ambient …

This work examines the growth dynamics of TiO 2-SiO 2 nanocomposite coatings in plane-to-
plane Dielectric Barrier Discharges (DBDs) at atmospheric pressure operated in a …

Oxygen and carbon dioxide plasma treatments were applied in order to study their
influences on chitosan adhesion onto PET foils. Modification of the surface and the …
