Plasma Processing

The symposium on Plasma Processing will bring together researchers and technologists from academia, research centres and industries engaged in the development or already using plasma technologies. The main topics of the symposium will be plasma synthesis of advanced materials, plasma deposition and surface modification, plasmas for pollution control, plasmas in medicine and biomedical engineering, and instrumentation and control for plasma processing.

Scope

This topical conference is dedicated to Plasma Processing.

Advanced Materials and Coatings

  • Synthesis of advanced materials
  • Plasma deposition and surface modification

Environmental and Energy Applications

  • Waste remediation
  • Gas and liquid treatment
  • Energy conversion

Plasmas in Medicine

  • Plasma sources for bio-applications
  • Plasma-biological surface interactions

Fundamentals

  • Plasma source development
  • Characterization of plasma processes
  • Fundamental processes

Publication

This symposium will be included in the WCCE8 proceedings. However, we encourage the submission of the full articles to Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing (or another journal, TBD)
