Pulsed microwave plasma polymerization of silicon oxide films: Application of efficient permeation barriers on polyethylene terephthalate

Microwave-enhanced voltammetric detection of copper(II) at gold nanoparticles-modified platinum microelectrodes

“…Microwave activation has been extensively employed to promote catalysis [1], organic and inorganic synthesis [2], plasma reactions [3] and analytical samples processing [4], as a novel tool for both improving reaction process and exploring microwave effects at electrified interfaces. Recently, in situ microwave activation has demonstrated beneficially to enhance electrochemical process [5].…”

New possibilities of applying fore-vacuum plasma sources in technological processes of electron-beam treatment of dielectric materials

“…До настоящего момента эта задача решалась с применением плазмогенераторов на ос-нове импульсного тлеющего [3], высокочастотного или микроволнового [4][5][6] разрядов. Однако, упомя-нутым способам присущи существенные недостат-ки, заключающиеся главным образом в наличии ионного распыления стенок сосуда интенсивным ионным потоком (в случае импульсного тлеющего разряда), а также в усложненном и малоэффектив-ном пути преобразования энергии от источника пи-тания до образования плазмы (высокочастотный и микроволновый разряды).…”

Packaging and food and beverage shelf life

“…In recent years rigid and flexible polymers have been coated with a variety of compounds to improve their barrier properties including aluminium oxides (Hirvikorpi et al, 2010), oxides of silicon (SiO x ) (Deilmann et al, 2008) and amorphous carbon (Boutroy et al, 2006). Nanoclays have also been added to polymers to produce polymer nanocomposites which have improved barrier and mechanical properties (Thellen et al, 2009).…”
