Innovative Materials from a Clean Chemistry
Today Plasma technology offers a valid alternative to conventional chemistry in the process of surface finishing of materials, with many benefits due to its high eco-sustainability.Plasma chemistry is a “dry and green” chemistry working without solvents and with minimal use of reagents.
The fourth state of matter
Plasmapps is a leading supplier of solutions based on cold Plasma Technology
Plasma technology is based on the physical principle that by supplying energy to matter, changes in its state happen so that solids becomes liquid, and liquids becomes gaseous. If energy is supplied to a gas, it is ionized and generates the PLASMA , called the fourth state of matter.
This is an ionized gas rich of reactive species such as radicals, ions and electrons able to modify the surface properties of the materials exposed to it. It becomes possible to finely tune the surface properties of the materials through the fine adjustment of the experimental parameters, resulting in a customized “surface tailoring “ of materials, without affecting their bulk properties.
What is plasma?
Plasma is a partially ionized gas that also occurs naturally—such as in lightning—and is often referred to as the “fourth state of matter”: when energy is applied to a solid it becomes liquid, with further energy it turns into a gas, and with even more energy it transitions into plasma.
To generate it, a controlled volume of gas is placed inside a chamber and energy is supplied through an oscillating electromagnetic field, whose frequency varies depending on the application and can range from kHz to MHz or even GHz.
