Understanding polyethylene surface functionalization by an atmospheric He-O plasma through combined experiments and simulation
Thierry Dufour, Johan Minnebo, Sami Abou Rich +3
High density polyethylene surfaces were exposed to the atmospheric post-discharge of a radiofrequency plasma torch supplied in helium and oxygen. Dynamic water contact angle measur…
Gas sensing properties of multiwall carbon nanotubes decorated with Rh nanoparticles
Radouane Leghrib, Thierry Dufour, Frédéric Demoisson +3
In the present work, multiwalled carbon nanotubes were decorated with rhodium nanoparticles using a colloidal solution in the post-discharge of an RF atmospheric plasma of argon (A…
Hydrogen peroxide generated by an atmospheric He-O2-H2O flowing post-discharge: production mechanisms and absolute quantification
Thierry Dufour, N. El-Mourad, Caroline De Vos +1
An atmospheric plasma torch has been supplied with a gaseous mixture of helium, water vapour and/or oxygen to study the production of reactive species within its flowing post-disch…
The influence of power and frequency on the filamentary behavior of a flowing DBD-application to the splitting of CO2
Alp Ozkan, Thierry Dufour, Tiago Silva +4
In this experimental study, a flowing dielectric barrier discharge operating at atmospheric pressure is used for the splitting of CO2 into O2 and CO. The influence of the applied f…
LDPE Surface Modifications Induced by Atmospheric Plasma Torches with Linear and Showerhead Configurations
Sami Abou Rich, Thierry Dufour, Perrine Leroy +3
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces have been plasma modified to improve their nanostructural and wettability properties. These modifications can significantly improve the dep…
