Plasma-assisted surface modification of biopolymers
- Univ. of California, Merced, CA (United States)
The interaction of non-thermal plasmas with surfaces is an important problem of interest in various applications. This work focuses on two main aspects of the problem - simulation and experiments. The development of a low-temperature plasma modeling is described along with experiments focusing on the interaction of a low-temperature plasma with liquid water. The simulation framework is capable of handling arbitrary geometries, chemistry and a fully-coupled boundary condition for plasma-dielectric interface. Representative examples for the verification and validation of the framework are provided. The experimental work deals with the study of low-temperature plasmas with water with the nitrate injection rate compared for three different configurations.
