Novel plasma-based technologies that offer maximum efficiency at minimal environmental costs are expected to further promote the sustainable societal and economic development. Unique transfer of chemical reactivity energy from gaseous plasmas water takes place in absence any other chemicals, but results a product with notable transient broad-spectrum biological activity, referred as plasma-activated (PAW). These features make PAW green prospective solution for wide range biotechnology...
Here the possibility of plasma-activated water being a green disinfectant, whose bioactivity is closely linked to peroxynitrite generation, was demonstrated.
Ageing population and a multitude of neurological cardiovascular illnesses that cannot be mitigated by medication alone have resulted in significant growth the number patients require implantable electronic devices. These range from sensors, gastric cardiac pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, to deep brain, nerve, bone stimulators. Long-term implants present specific engineering challenges, including low energy consumption stable performance. Resorbable electronics may offer excellent...
Rapid evolution of miniaturized, automatic, robotized, function-centered devices has redefined space technology, bringing closer the realization most ambitious interplanetary missions and intense near-Earth exploration. Small unmanned satellites probes are now being launched in hundreds at a time, resurrecting dream satellite constellations, i.e., wide, all-covering networks small capable forming universal multifunctional, intelligent platforms for global communication, navigation,...
This article reviews antibacterial surface strategies based on reactive plasma chemistry, focusing how plasma-assisted processing of natural antimicrobial agents can produce antifouling and materials for biomedical devices.
Abstract Atmospheric-pressure N 2 , He, air, and O microplasma arrays have been used to investigate the effects of plasma treatment on seed germination seedling growth mung bean in aqueous solution. Seed were found strongly depend feed gases generate time. Compared with atmospheric-pressure He arrays, air was shown be more efficient improving both rate growth, effect attributed solution acidification interactions plasma-generated reactive oxygen nitrogen species. Acidic environment caused by...
There are a number of pressing problems mankind is facing today that could, at least in part, be resolved by space systems. These include capabilities for fast and far-reaching telecommunication, surveying resources climate, sustaining global information networks, to name but few. Not surprisingly, increasing efforts now devoted building strong near-Earth satellite infrastructure, with plans extend the sphere active life orbital and, later, Moon Mars if not further. The realization these...
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a promising antibacterial material, the efficacy of which can be further enhanced by addition silver nanoparticles (nAg). In this study, mechanisms activity rGO-nAg nanocomposite against several important human pathogenic multi-drug resistant bacteria, namely Gram-positive coccal Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative rod-shaped Escherichia coli Proteus mirabilis are investigated. At same concentration (100 µg/ml), was significantly more effective all three...
Details of a fast and sustainable bottom-up process to grow large area high quality graphene films without the aid any catalyst are reported in this paper. We used Melaleuca alternifolia, volatile natural extract from tea tree plant as precursor. The as-fabricated yielded stable contact angle 135°, indicating their potential application very hydrophobic coatings. electronic devices formed by sandwiching pentacene between aluminum demonstrated memristive behavior, hence, these could find use...
Plasma medicine is a relatively new field that investigates potential applications of cold atmospheric-pressure plasmas in bioengineering, such as for bacterial inactivation and degradation organic molecules water. In order to enunciate mechanisms at molecular or atomic levels, we investigated the interaction air microplasmas with amino acids aqueous solution by using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Results show oxidation effect plasma-induced species on side chains can be...
Interactions between effects generated by cold atmospheric-pressure plasmas and water have been widely investigated for purification, chemical nanomaterial synthesis, and, more recently, medicine biotechnology. Reactive oxygen nitrogen species (RONS) play critical roles in transferring the reactivity from gas to solutions induce specific biochemical responses living targets, e.g., pathogen inactivation biofilm removal. While this approach works well a single-organism system at laboratory...
Given the vast number of strategies used to control behavior laboratory and industrially relevant plasmas for material processing other state-of-the-art applications, a potential user may find themselves overwhelmed with diversity physical configurations generate plasmas. Apparently, need clearly defined, physics-based classification presently available spectrum plasma technologies is pressing, critically summary individual advantages, unique benefits, challenges against key application...
