Low temperature plasma‐based sterilization: overview and state‐of‐the‐art

M Laroussi - Plasma processes and polymers, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Low temperature, high pressure, non‐equilibrium plasmas are now routinely used in several
material processing applications, and in some cases are competing with low pressure …

Arc‐free atmospheric pressure cold plasma jets: A review

M Laroussi, T Akan - Plasma Processes and Polymers, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Non‐thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets/plumes are playing an increasingly important
role in various plasma processing applications. This is because of their practical capability …

Low-temperature plasmas for medicine?

M Laroussi - IEEE Transactions on plasma science, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Can low-temperature plasma technology play a role in medicine? This is a question that many
investigators today are trying hard to give a positive answer to. It did not quite start out this …

Nonthermal decontamination of biological media by atmospheric-pressure plasmas: review, analysis, and prospects

M Laroussi - IEEE Transactions on plasma science, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Although the use of an electrical discharge to disinfect water was suggested and applied more
than a hundred years ago, basic and applied research on the interaction of plasmas with …

Room-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma plume for biomedical applications

M Laroussi, XP Lu - Applied physics letters, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
As low-temperature nonequilibrium plasmas come to play an increasing role in biomedical
applications, reliable and user-friendly sources need to be developed. These plasma sources …

Sterilization of contaminated matter with an atmospheric pressure plasma

M Laroussi - IEEE Transactions on plasma science, 1996 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The primary methods now used to sterilize contaminated media (infectious waste, tools,
liquids, ...) are exposure to UV radiation, incineration, or autoclaving. These methods have …

M Laroussi, DA Mendis, M Rosenberg - New Journal of Physics, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
The germicidal effects of a non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma generated by a
novel resistive barrier discharge on representatives of the two classes of bacteria (Gram-…

Reactive species in non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasmas: Generation, transport, and biological effects

X Lu, GV Naidis, M Laroussi, S Reuter, DB Graves… - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
Non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasmas have recently become a topical area of
research owing to their diverse applications in health care and medicine, environmental …

On atmospheric-pressure non-equilibrium plasma jets and plasma bullets

X Lu, M Laroussi, V Puech - Plasma Sources Science and …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Atmospheric-pressure non-equilibrium plasma jets (APNP-Js), which generate plasma in open
space rather than in a confined discharge gap, have recently been a topic of great interest…

Dynamics of an atmospheric pressure plasma plume generated by submicrosecond voltage pulses

XP Lu, M Laroussi - Journal of applied physics, 2006 - pubs.aip.org
Nonequilibrium plasmas, which have a relatively high electron temperature and low gas
temperature, have many attractive characteristics. One of them is their enhanced plasma …
