E-Books →Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas at Interfaces

Many atmospheric pressure plasma applications involve interactions with solid or liquid surfaces, such as skin or cell cultures in plasma medicine, or nitrogen fixation in plasma agriculture. Often, the plasma interfaces with a liquid layer. While low-pressure plasma surface interactions are well-documented, studies on atmospheric pressure plasmas at interfaces are limited. This book introduces the physics and chemistry of plasma interactions at solid and liquid interfaces, with a focus on plasma-solid and plasma-liquid dynamics. It also includes a dedicated chapter on the application examples plasma-bio-interactions and pollutant removal. Designed for graduate students and researchers, the book offers a concise, self-contained guide to understanding plasma behaviour at interfaces.
Key features:
A concise introduction to phenomena at plasma-liquid interfaces and plasma-solid interfaces
The book compiles knowledge from different disciplines and serves as a general introduction to atmospheric pressure plasmas interacting with solids, liquids, biological samples, and organic pollutants
Literature in textbook format on atmospheric pressure plasmas is scarce and there is no textbook on interfaces, combining interface science, transport phenomena, and plasma science, which is addressed in this book
The textbook is going to be a great resource for students and researchers from different plasma application perspectives
