Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able to characterize the state of the art of the industrial processes assisted by thermal (hot) plasmas for the production and treatment of high added value materials; the same on the side of most advanted Technologies using atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium (cold) plasmas for application ranging from use in the energy industry to use in biomedical and plasma medicine applications. The students will be able to relate to patent literature with particular emphasis on the most recent industrial developements of thermal and non-equilibrium plasma sources.The design of those systems will be described together with experimental analysis of the plasma assisted processes used in industrial applications.
