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…
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…
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…
Low-density polyethylene films treated by an atmospheric Ar--O2 post-discharge: functionalization, etching, degradation and partial recovery of the native wettability state
Sami Abou Rich, Thierry Dufour, P Leroy +3
To optimize the adhesion of layers presenting strong barrier properties on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces, we investigated the influence of argon and argon-oxygen atmosph…
