Suitability of thermal plasma for solid waste treatment and non-thermal plasma for nano-scale high-tech plasmonic materials: a concise review.

In the recent past, plasma waste technology has emerged to be an environmental friendly and beneficial technology. In this review, current status of thermal plasma, non-thermal plasma and its application for nano-scale high-tech plasmonic materials based on the scientific and technical comprehensive observation are included. Generally, thermal plasma is used for solid waste treatment but non-thermal plasma is being utilized for plasmonic materials.

Theoretical-Computational Study of Atmospheric DBD Plasma and Its Utility for Nanoscale Biocompatible Plasmonic Coating.

In this study, time-dependent, one-dimensional modeling of a surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) device, driven by a sinusoidal voltage of amplitude 1-3 kV at 20 kHz, in argon is described. An SDBD device with two Cu-stripe electrodes, covered by the quartz dielectric and with the discharge gap of 20 × 10 m, was assumed, and the time-dependent, one-dimensional discharge parameters were simulated versus time across the plasma gap. The plasma device simulated in the given arrangement was constructed and used for biocompatible antibacterial/antimicrobial coating of plasmonic particle aerosol and compared with the coating strategy of the DBD plasma jet.

A new strategy of using dielectric barrier discharge plasma in tubular geometry for surface coating and extension to biomedical application.

There has always been a quest for nanotechnology to develop inexpensive coating methods with the capability of depositing biocompatible nanomaterials on biomedical and surgical tools. In this mini-report, a plasma-based innovative idea of coating a solid surface with antibacterial/antimicrobial nanosilver is floated and experimentally realized. The desired antibacterial nanosilver was obtained from laser ablation and directly entrained in an outflowing plasma jet, excited in the flow of argon at 10 l min using 20 kV/20 kHz.
