“…There have been some efforts to scale up atmospheric pressure microplasmas in other contexts such as material synthesis in the gas phase or thin‐film deposition from vapor precursors. [ 148 ] The knowledge gained may provide guidance for engineering of scaled up systems in additive manufacturing. Notably, plasmas have been shown to be versatile, capable of being generated in a wide range of geometries, by different power coupling frequencies, and gas chemistries.…”

Additive methods for manufacturing materials have recently emerged, particularly for the fabrication of three-dimensional architectures. Because of their long history in thin-film etching and deposition, plasmas offer unique advantages for many of the materials and surface processes associated with additive manufacturing. Here, we review recent efforts that have been primarily focused on the direct writing of patterned structures and the post-treatment of printed materials. Different configurations, materials, and applications are presented. Current challenges and a future outlook are also provided. 3D printing, additive manufacturing, microdischarges, nanotechnology, roll-to-roll

“…The combination of spatial confinement and gas flow has also led to short residence times in plasma reactors thus enabling sophisticated compositional tuning and phase stabilization of ultrasmall NPs . The versatility of microplasmas is another important feature which has helped integrate the synthesized materials directly into devices by combining materials processing with device fabrication or even incorporating the microplasmas themselves into the device.…”

“…Formation of solid particles may take place in non equilibrium plasmas under a variety of discharge conditions [1,2,3]. In some cases these (nano)particles are produced on purpose for their functionnal properties [4]. In other cases they are form accidentally produced and may be be detrimental for the targetted plasma process [1].…”

In this article work we investigated different approaches and models used for the estimation of the charge fluctuation of solid particles in dusty plasmas. We compared the charge distributions inferred from these models and analysed the consequences in terms of coagulation kinetics and particle size distributions. We especially showed that taking explicitly into account the discrete nature of the charging process along with the enhancement of ion flux due to ion-neutral elastic collisions result in significantly larger values for the fractions of neutral and positively charged particles, which affects the coagulation kinetics and the predicted values of particle density. We also showed, by comparing sectional and modal approaches, that the typical size-distributions obtained in the studied plasmas may be well described using a bimodal distribution with a single size nucleation mode and a Gaussian large-size mode. Such a possibility enables a great simplification of the aerosol dynamic description and open up an interesting perspective as far as multidimensionnal self consistent modeling of dusty plasmas is concerned.
