The therapeutic effects of atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) have been associated with the presence of reactive species, mainly the reactive oxygen and nitrogen ones, generated in this kind of plasmas. Due to that, ...

The main component of plasma medicine is the use of low-temperature plasma (LTP) as a powerful tool for biomedical applications. LTP generates high reactivity at low temperatures and can be activated with noble gases with ...

Plasma is an electrically conducting medium that responds to electric and magnetic fields. It consists of large quantities of highly reactive species, such as ions, energetic electrons, exited atoms and molecules, ultraviolet ...

Alumina films were deposited from a new plasma method using aluminum acetylacetonate (AAA) powder as precursor. The AAA was sputtered in argon and oxygen plasma mixtures. It was investigated the effect of the oxygen ...

New technologies and sterilization agents for heat-sensitive materials are under intense investigation. Plasma sterilization, an atoxic low-temperature substitute for conventional sterilization, uses various gases that are ...

Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) are characterized by very reactive chemistry without the need of elevated temperatures. Also, plasma jets are capable of producing cold plasma plumes that are not spatially ...

Among the advanced oxidative processes (AOP’s), cold plasma is one of the most efficient in the generation of reactive species and a treatment of aqueous residues. As a "green" technology, that is, with the capacity not ...

In the last decade atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) have been routinely employed for surface processing of polymers due to their capability of generating very reactive chemistry at near-ambient temperature conditions. ...
