In recent years, cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) technology has received substantial attention due to its valuable properties including operational simplicity, low running cost, and environmental friendliness. Several different gases (air, nitrogen, helium, argon) techniques (corona discharge, dielectric barrier jet) can be used generate at temperature. Plasma treatment is routinely in ...

Using high energy, pulsed X-rays, generated by a 4.7 kJ Plasma Focus operated with deuterium argon admixtures, images of fast rotating metallic pieces were obtained. This illustrates the potential application of Plasma Focus devices for non invasive scanning of moving metallic objects. The samples for radiographic imaging were located outside the plasma focus chamber. High-sensitivity, fast-res...

Moisture management is the ability of a fabric to transport moisture away from the skin to the garment’s outer surface in multi-dimensions and it is one of key performance criteria in today’s textiles for garments for various end uses. This property has a significant effect on the human perception of moisture sensations as well as the growth of microorganisms. Plasma treatment on textiles is a ...

Plasma process is a promising physical method for sterilization. Due to the lack of suitable plasma diagnostics, installed in reactors, general knowledge happens about gas-phase chemical composition and influence operating parameters. The same case gas generated from different gases, candidates sterilization purposes. aim this work understand role agents acting process, evaluate effectiveness p...

An important field of research of the plasma physics group at GSI is the interaction of heavy ions with laserproduced plasmas. Especially the energy loss of argon in carbon plasmas has been investigated recently ([1]) at Z6 and new precise data has been obtained. A crucial parameter in heavy ion stopping in the intermediate velocity regime is the actual charge state of the projectile ion at eve...

BACKGROUND Titanium is a well proven implantable material especially for osseointegratable implants by its biocompatibility and anti-corrosive surface properties. Surface characteristics of the implant play an important role for the evolution of bone tissue of the recipient site. Among the various surface modification methods, plasma treatment is one of the promising methods for enhance biocomp...

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has received great attention due to its noteworthy ability, and has also been widely studied over few decades in physics, biology and medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cold atmospheric pressure plasma effects on the proliferation of breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-231 was used for this experiment. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in 24-well plate and...

High-pressure gas jets of neon and argon are used to mitigate the three principal damaging effects of tokamak disruptions: thermal loading of the divertor surfaces, vessel stress from poloidal halo currents and the buildup and loss of relativistic electrons to the wall. The gas jet penetrates as a neutral species through to the central plasma at its sonic velocity. The injected gas atoms increa...
