For the past decades, plasma technology has been widely investigated to advance energy and environmental applications. The main focus of this research revolves either around developing new or enhancing existing reforming, combustion, and remediation processes. Nevertheless, due to the complex physicochemical nature of non-thermal plasma’s, most of the experimental findings still await a full...
Today, many scientific studies made with eco-friendly composites have highlighted the potential to use cellulose- and bio-based materials in different advanced applications. Although these materials could replace oil-based flexible substrates in the next few years, their surface often need to be modified for stability/efficiency or tuning the final properties for a specific purpose. Among the...
Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition is widely studied for deposition of functional thin films. For some applications, multifunctionality is a pre-requisite, and this can be achieved using a number of methods, among which is aerosol-assisted plasma deposition. Using a injector-reactor, stable but volatile liquids can be injected and pulsed into the discharge, resulting in a time-dependent...
In atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharges, it is well known that 2 regimes of non-equilibrium discharge can be reached, a filamentary one and a homogeneous one. In nominally pure Argon at “low frequency” (below some hundreds of kHz), the discharge is filamentary. For specifics processes, filaments are unwanted. Such filaments can be suppressed by reducing the breakdown voltage...
