摘要
In this paper, we present a double-layered atmospheric pressure plasma jet (DLAPPJ) that is expected to improve conventional single-layered atmospheric pressure plasma jets. With the additional introduction of nitrogen gas into the outer nozzle between the inner and outer tubes, the plasma plume is boosted, resulting in a brighter and longer plasma torch, which may have more radicals and which may broaden the application range of atmospheric pressure plasma jets. The characteristics of the proposed device were investigated with the measurement of the visible torch length, wettability tests and optical emission spectroscopy. The results obtained imply that the DLAPPJ can be used for target-based plasma treatments, that is, (a) oxidation-related applications, such as surface treatment, biological decontamination and apoptosis induction, and (b) nitrification-related applications such as NO generation for wound healing and surface modification, by controlling radicals in plasmas.
