PTFE surface etching in the post-discharge of a RF scanning plasma torch: evidence of ejected fluorinated species
Thierry Dufour, Julie Hubert, Pascal Viville +4
The texturization of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) surfaces is achieved at atmospheric pressure by using the post-discharge of a radio-frequency plasma torch supplied in helium…
DBD in burst mode: solution for more efficient CO2 conversion?
A Ozkan, Thierry Dufour, T Silva +4
CO2 conversion into value-added products has gained significant interest over the few last years, as the greenhouse gas concentrations constantly increase due to anthropogenic acti…
Preparation and characterization of ultra-hydrophobic calcium carbonate nanoparticles
Ahmed Barhoum, S. M. El-Sheikh, F. Morsy +6
Anionic surfactants based on fatty acids are usually used to modify the particle surface properties of CaCO with the aim to enhance its dispersion and compatibility with polyme…
Chemical mechanisms inducing a dc current measured in the flowing post-discharge of an RF He-O2 plasma torch
Thierry Dufour, J Hubert, N Vandencasteele +1
The post-discharge of an RF plasma torch supplied with helium and oxygen gases is characterized by mass spectrometry, optical emission spectroscopy and electrical measurements. We…
Etching Processes of Polytetrafluoroethylene Surfaces Exposed to He and He-O2 Atmospheric Post-discharges
J Hubert, Thierry Dufour, Nicolas Vandencasteele +3
A comparative study of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces treated by the post-discharge of He and He-O2 plasmas at atmospheric pressure is presented. The characterization of t…
In-depth diffusion of oxygen into LDPE exposed to an Ar--O2 atmospheric post-discharge: a complementary approach between AR-XPS and Tof-SIMS techniques
Sami Abou Rich, Perrine Leroy, Thierry Dufour +3
The in-depth oxygen diffusion into a low density polyethylene film is performed in the post-discharge of an atmospheric plasma torch, supplied in argon as carrier gas and with or w…
