Article Synopsis
  • Plants from the Asteraceae family are popular for their economic, medicinal, and ornamental uses, but the specific properties of a hybrid species (×) from South Korea have not been well-studied.
  • This research focused on analyzing phenolic acid levels in different parts of × and tested how growth at various temperatures (20, 25, and 30 °C) affected these levels.
  • The findings revealed that chlorogenic acid was most abundant in the leaves and that while growth characteristics remained similar at different temperatures, 30 °C was optimal for producing phenolic acids.

To validate the possibility of the developed microwave plasma source with a novel structure for plasma aerosol deposition, the characteristics of the plasma flow velocity generated from the microwave plasma source were investigated by a Mach probe with pressure variation. Simulation with the turbulent model was introduced to deduce calibration factor of the Mach probe and to compare experimental measurements for analyses of collisional plasma conditions. The results show calibration factor does not seem to be a constant parameter and highly dependent on the collision parameter.

To improve the thermal conductivity and wear resistance of ceramic materials in the field of renewable energy technologies, diamond coating by plasma processing has been carried out in recent years. This study's goal is to improve diamond deposition on Al2O3 ceramic substrates by plasma surface treatments. Before diamond deposition was carried out in a vacuum, plasma surface treatments using Ar gas were conducted to improve conditions for deposition.
