Fundamentals and Applications of Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas.

Cold plasma as a new anticancer agent is described by Freund I et al. i [25] The anticancer effect of oxidized saline generated using a spark discharge is investigated using CT26 colorectal cancer cells I in vitro i and I in vivo i and compared against oxidized saline generated by the well-investigated medical plasma jet I kINPen i . In summary, atmospheric plasmas play an important role in many current and emerging fields, including plasma medicine, agriculture, plasma processing, catalysis, and aerospace engineering. Plasma generated in contact with liquid is charactered by Ng I et al i .[35] It is shown that the plasma can be tailored to tune the composition of plasma-functionalized liquids. The significant effect of radiation trapped photon emission on ionization wave dynamics demonstrates the need to consider these effects in plasma reactors where self-absorbed radiation is typically ignored.
