The effect of plasma applied to mulungu (Erythrina velutina) seeds was studied to verify its
influence on the germination, water absorption, wettability and structure of the seeds. The …

Ammonia is a promising energy and hydrogen carrier due to its ease of liquification, high
hydrogen content, and potential to be synthesized without carbon feedstocks. Despite its …

Bone tissue engineering is the most promising therapeutic method to alleviate the fast-
growing request for bone grafts in nonunion bone defects. It is founded on the use of …

Non-thermal plasma (NTP) is a promising state of matter for carrying out chemical reactions.
NTP offers high densities of reactive species, without the need for a catalyst, while operating …

Methyl orange (MO) azo dye served as model organic pollutant to investigate the role of
reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in non-thermal plasma (NTP) induced water treatments. The …

The effect of different cold plasma treatments on the germination and seedling growth of
alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) seeds under simulated drought stress conditions was …

Active groups were induced on the surface of polysulfone (PSF) membranes by DC Ar/O 2-
