The water plasmas generated by atmospheric discharges have already demonstrated their potencial also for surface modification of polymer materials [1-4] and are emerging as a very flexible concept to generate selective functionalized polymer surface [3]. We have developed a novel type of surface dielectric barrier discharge generating thin layers of visually diffuse plasmas along the treated polzmer...
Many textile finishing operations use wet processing techniques with a detrimental impact on the environment. In addition, the wet processes use approximately 60% of the energy consumed in the textile industry. The use of non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasmas is emerging as an environmentally attractive alternative for the safe and economical surface treatment of fabrics. Since the growth rates...
The surface properties of materials used commercially are often more important to their function and marketability than their bulk properties and are determined by an extremely thin region that can be as small as a few atomic diameters. Plasma surface treatment is usually fast, affects about 10 nanometers of the very surface layer, and have many potential benefits including minimal waste and control...
Surface of crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers was treated in dielectric barrier discharge and the cleaning effect, wettability and adhesion of gold nanoparticles were investigated. Treatment of c-Si was realised in air plasma at atmospheric pressure in Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD). Plasma cleaning and gold nanoparticle adhesion were investigated by means of Laser Desorption Ionisation...
The Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD) has shown its great potential for applications in textile industry recently1. A rather interesting synthesis of the latest technologies and a very traditional industry is currently being developed in cooperation of our physics department and TONAK - a company with more than 200 years tradition in the hat making from natural felt. This is also...
