Non-Thermal Plasmas for Revolutionizing Goods Production
Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering
It is well-recognized that non-thermal (non-equilibrium) plasmas have played a critical, if unsung, role in every day technologies, and really, our modern way of life. The microchips and processors that make up our phones, computers, and the entire information technology ecosystem all utilized plasma processing at some point in the manufacturing chain.
While microfabrication technologies such as etching and sputtering are well developed and commercially deployed, the next evolution of plasma processing will expand the types and kinds of goods beyond electronics to include fertilizers, high-value chemicals, metals, and more, helping create a more energy resilient and security robust manufacturing sector.
This talk will overview two areas that are primed for great impact based on processing at a plasma-liquid interface.
