CO2-CH4 conversion and syngas formation at atmospheric pressure using a multi-electrode dielectric barrier discharge
A. Ozkan, T. Dufour, G. Arnoult +3
The conversion of CO2 and CH4 into value-added chemicals is studied in a new geometry of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) with multi-electrodes, dedicated to the treatment of h…
Reactivity of water vapor in an atmospheric argon flowing post-discharge plasma torch
S Collette, Thierry Dufour, F Reniers
The reactivity of water vapor introduced in the flowing post-discharge of an RF atmospheric plasma torch is investigated through electrical characterization, optical emission spect…
How do the barrier thickness and dielectric material influence the filamentary mode and CO2 conversion in a flowing DBD?
A Ozkan, Thierry Dufour, A Bogaerts +1
Dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are commonly used to generate cold plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Whatever their configuration (tubular or planar), the presence of a dielect…
Competitive and synergistic effects between excimer VUV radiation and O radicals on the etching mechanisms of polyethylene and fluoropolymer surfaces treated by atmospheric He-O post-discharge
Thierry Dufour, Julie Hubert, Nicolas Vandencasteele +3
Among various surface modification techniques, plasma can be used as a source for tailoring the surface properties of diverse materials. HDPE and fluoropolymer surfaces have been t…
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…
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…
