Project description
A joint doctoral research is proposed between department of Applied Physics (Ugent - Belgium) and the Kongunadu Arts & Science College (India). It is an excellent opportunity to evaluate the at Ugent developed atmospheric pressure sources and compare them with low pressure discharge treatments (expertise of Indian partner). This work brings together two different approaches for surface modification of textiles with plasma.
