“…Corresponding discharge current showed a typical waveform of dielectric barrier discharge. The microplasma reactor can generate atmospheric plasma at about 1 kV, since its discharge gap was narrow (about 10 to 100 μm) [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is a painless method of low-dose drug delivery. The advantages and disadvantages of transdermal drug delivery methods are named and basic methods such as using chemical enhancers, iontophoresis and electrophoresis are introduced. One of the promising methods make use of plasma which is generated in atmospheric pressure mostly in volume or on surface dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) or in plasma jet. As the plasma produces various particles according to the used gas, UV radiation and heat, their effects on skin and barrier function are described. Improvement of transdermal drug delivery of hydrophilic drug galantamine hydrobromide (GaHBr) using microplasma electrode is introduced.

In this paper, a microstrip split ring resonator microwave-induced plasma source is developed. The goal of this work is to implement the resonator into a micropropulsion system. This project evaluated three designs of the resonator to understand how the width of the ring microstrip can impact the microplasma properties. Each resonator was designed and fabricated to operate at ~961 MHz. Simulations of the electric fields were performed. Single Langmuir probe measurements were done at 10 Torr to obtain the electron density, temperature, and plasma potential. The microwave power was varied from 10-15 W. The results show that the 1.5 mm wide resonator has the greatest electron temperature compared to the 0.5 mm and 1 mm. The electron density is also greatest for the 1.5 mm device. Ion density is higher for the 0.5 mm compared to the 1 mm and 1.5 mm. The simulations show that with an increase in ring width, there is an increase in electric field in the microstrip of the resonator. These results helps to understand the relationship between microstrip width and the microplasma produced. As a result of this research, the proper split ring resonator source is determined for implementation into a microthruster. Overall, this research will lead to the production of an optimized microplasma source for microthruster applications.
