The Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (APP) treatment for polymer surface modification has attracted much attention recently, owing to its advantages over other techniques and its ability to improve ...

Why? Because of the many factors which affect atmospheric pressure. Pioneering scientists discovered atmospheric pressure (also known as barometric or air pressure) in the 17th century ...

and is focused on the fundamental and applied research of “cold” atmospheric pressure plasmas. Primary research areas include fundamental studies and characterization of nanosecond discharges in both ...

It could not, however, overcome the friction in the Earth's atmosphere. This meant that ... to generate high-temperature, high-pressure plasma. The jet engine prototype can lift a one-kilogram ...

Air molecules colliding with a surface cause atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101,000 Pa (101 kPa) but just 27,000 Pa (27 kPa) at the cruising altitude of a ...
