Study of the Influence of the Different Parameters of the Atmospheric DBD Treatment on the Surface Roughness and the Electric Potential Distribution Generated After the Tribocharging of Polypropylene

3d Porous Catalysts for Plasma-Catalytic Dry Reforming of Methane: How Does the Pore Size Affect the Plasma-Catalytic Performance?

“…Third, the high roughness of the catalysts with small pores, resulting from the higher number of pores at the surface, causes electric field enhancement in the plasma, which creates more reactive plasma species that can interact with the catalyst. It can also be observed that the plasma power and the average filament charge show a correlation with the conversion of the reactants (we refer to Table 2 later for more details) [42,[63][64][65]. Fourth, The larger external surface area of the catalysts with small pores (again due to a higher number of pores at the surface), may be another reason for their better performance.…”

Effect of atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge treatment on the triboelectric charging properties of brominated Polyethylene granules

“…DBD plasma enhanced the triboelectric charging for both BFR-free PE and 4.6 % BFR PE particles, which suggests that there is a modification on the material surface. The DBD treatment resulted in an increase in the surface roughness of the polymer [15,16], which generally leads to a larger number of contact points between the bodies in contact, resulting in higher triboelectric charge value [20]. The effect of DBD treatment depends also on the nature of material to be treated.…”

“…As tribocharging is a surface phenomenon, plasma treatment methods, which are known to alter the surface condition of insulating materials, can have an impact on it. Previous research [15][16][17][18] has demonstrated that exposure to dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma can effectively increase the roughness and wettability of the polymer and modify the triboelectric properties of insulating materials.…”
