Contents Introduction to theoretical and applied plasma chemistry -- Elementary plasma-chemical reactions -- Plasma-chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics -- Electric discharges in plasma chemistry -- Inorganic gas-phase plasma decomposition processes -- Gas-phase inorganic synthesis in plasma -- Plasma synthesis, treatment, and processing of inorganic materials, and plasma metallurgy -- Plasma-surface processing of inorganic materials: micro- and nano-technologies -- Organic and polymer plasma chemistry -- Plasma-chemical fuel conversion and hydrogen production -- Plasma chemistry in energy systems and environmental control -- Plasma biology and plasma medicine
Summary Providing a fundamental introduction to all aspects of modern plasma chemistry, this book describes mechanisms and kinetics of chemical processes in plasma, plasma statistics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and electrodynamics, as well as all major electric discharges applied in plasma chemistry. Fridman considers most of the major applications of plasma chemistry, from electronics to thermal coatings, from treatment of polymers to fuel conversion and hydrogen production and from plasma metallurgy to plasma medicine. It is helpful to engineers, scientists and students interested in plasma physics, plasma chemistry, plasma engineering and combustion, as well as chemical physics, lasers, energy systems and environmental control. The book contains an extensive database on plasma kinetics and thermodynamics and numerical formulas for practical calculations related to specific plasma-chemical processes and applications. Problems and concept questions are provided, helpful in courses related to plasma, lasers, combustion, chemical kinetics, statistics and thermodynamics, and high-temperature and high-energy fluid mechanics
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 915-961) and index
