Abstract

The application of plasma discharge has assumed a critical, although often hidden, place in many manufacturing processes. Many products that depend on plasma treatments are ubiquitous in modern societies. Integrated Circuits for computers and cells phones are only possible by plasma processing. Surface treatments and modifications of plastics and textiles improve printing, dyeing, adhesion, and biocompatibility properties, as well as either increase or decrease wettability. Other properties such as antimicrobial, self-cleaning, scratch-resistant, and even self-repairing properties are possible by plasma treatments. Plasma-assisted combustion, higher energy efficiencies for cars and for aircraft engines. Plasma thrusters and actuators provide completely new approaches for propulsion and maneuverability of planes and spacecraft. Plasmas provide a highly efficient cleaning way of exhaust pollutant gases, etc. Plasma technology has contributed significantly to the economic prosperity of industrialized societies. In this talk a broad review of the success of plasma technologies in various fields will be presented. The behind important mechanisms will be discussed together with several potential novel plasma applications in biomedicine and energy field.
