Evaluation of cross-linking and degradation processes occurring at polymer surfaces upon plasma activation via size-excl...
Traditional wet chemistry offers a great magnitude of methods for surface modification and surface coatings for nanostructured materials. However, most methods require solvents and purification steps, and generate waste and byproducts. An interesting alternative set of methods involves the use of nonthermal or low-temperature plasmas (LTP) toward m...
Plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition has gained a lot of attraction over the past few years. A myriad of processes have been reported, several reviews have been written on this topic, and there is a lot of interest for industrial applications. Still, when developing new processes, often heuristic approaches are used, choosing plasma parameters t...
The atmospheric pressure radio frequency (RF) inductively coupled thermal plasma (ICTP) has been extensively used for many industrial processes. In order to understand the physical-chemical mechanism involved in the discharge process of ICTP, in situ optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was carried out to diagnose and determine the active particles ...

Aspects of the thermal conductivity, λ, of a Lennard–Jones (LJ) solid along an isotherm and the sublimation line are studied using equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. A reformulation of the Green–Kubo time correlation function expression for λ in the form of a probability distribution function (PDF) of single trajectory contributions (...
Surface chemical properties triggered by plasma activation of polymers were extensively investigated. However, clear distinctions between particular mechanisms occurring in-plasma and post-plasma treatment performed at medium pressure are up-to-the-minute missing and are therefore constituting the study aim. Polyethylene films were subjected to N-2...

Depletion of Archaean atmospheric xenon in 129Xe relative to the modern atmosphere might indicate that a short burst of mantle activity took place around 2.6 to 2.2 billion years ago.
An atmospheric pressure radio frequency discharge working at coexistence of alpha and gamma-modes was investigated using electrical and optical measurements. The voltage and current characteristics showed a phase shift which is typical for alpha mode discharge. Time resolved discharge patterns were captured at a condition favorable for the coexiste...
The generation of reactive species in argon/oxygen plasma driven by a pulsed microwave has been investigated using global simulation. The applied power was given for varying pulse periods and duties with a constant average power. The differences in the trends for species densities with regard to the pulse parameters are analyzed based on the timesc...
