W2-4 Application of Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas I (DPP) / Applications des plasmas à pression atmosphérique I (DPP)
- Ahmad Hamdan (Université de Montréal)
The success of non-thermal plasmas in a broad range of applications in materials, medicine, and for the environment lies in their high reactivity at non-equilibrium conditions [1]. Cold atmospheric pressure plasma sources operated with air or noble gases allow plasma treatment at ambient conditions. Plasmas can thus induce novel chemistry into sensitive environments such as nano-scaled...
Non-thermal plasmas produced by nanosecond discharges is a novel field of plasma physics that have huge interest for medical physics or in liquid treatments due to their high reactivity. Although this field is under investigation since more than one decade, our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms is still at an embryonic level. Moreover, when such a plasma is coupled with a solid or...
