Synthesis and coating of copper oxide nanoparticles using atmospheric pressure plasmas

Nanoscience with non-equilibrium plasmas at atmospheric pressure

“…This approach is radically different from that described in the preceding paragraph: it requires to start from nano-objects and not to synthesise them from scratch. It is possible to use nanoparticles to treat them by plasma enhanced CVD at atmospheric pressure and coat them with another material [173][174][175][176][177]. These treatments can take place in a fluidized bed [60,[178][179][180][181] but high pressures are needed to have a sufficiently high gas current for fluidization.…”

Generation and Sizing of Particles for Aerosol-Based Nanotechnology

“…Furthermore, this type of plasma can also be used for gas-phase particle coating, both for particles from another DBD plasma or particles produced using other methods (e.g. Lei et al 2006;Marino et al 2007). Under certain conditions, particles can be generated by sputtering of the dielectric barrier (Jidenko and Borra 2004).…”

Deposition of homogeneous carbon‐TiO2 composites by atmospheric pressure DBD

“…These NPs can either be formed inside the discharge or be injected into it. Introducing directly NPs makes possible to choose their size and shape, which allows a better control of the final nanocomposite properties . The feasibility of this approach at atmospheric pressure was demonstrated by Bardon et al who improved anti‐corrosion properties by incorporating aluminum‐cerium oxide NPs into a polymer matrix.…”

“…Introducing directly NPs makes possible to choose their size and shape, which allows a better control of the final nanocomposite properties. [8,9] The feasibility of this approach at atmospheric pressure was demonstrated by Bardon et al [10] who improved anti-corrosion properties by incorporating aluminum-cerium oxide NPs into a polymer matrix. Fanelli et al [11] used ZnO NPs to create superhydrophobic organic-inorganic nanocomposite thin films.…”
