This basic financing will be employed to further enhance the research line "Plasma Technology for Biomedical Applications" at the Research Unit Plasma Technology. The research group acts as a pioneer on the field of biomaterial treatment with non-thermal plasmas. Recent research topics include plasma treatment of biodegradable polymers, plasma cleaning of metallic surfaces used for implants, plasma treatment of porous scaffolds, cell enhancement by plasma treatment, cancer treatment etc. These funds will be used for amongst others personel costs, consumables and maintenance costs.
