HF Plasma Pencil - New Source for Plasma Surface Processing
Surface and Coatings Technology 116 (1999) 547–551
The high-frequency plasma pencil is a source of a highly active environment (electrons, ions, reactive radicals, excited atoms and molecules), which can be generated at atmospheric, reduced or increased pressure, preserving a broad control of performance. As an active medium flowing through the plasma jet a gas, a liquid as well as a mixture of dispersed particles (powders) can be used. The plasma jet can be controlled like hand-operated tools. Several technological applications have already been used (restoration of archeological glass artifacts, fullerene production, fragmentation of molecules for microelectrophoresis, plasma polymerization in liquids, various plasma surface treatments, etc.).
