Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) Nanotechnology Technique for Biomedical Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is an ionized gas where the ion temperature is close to room temperature as opposed to typical high-temperature laboratory plasmas. It can be carried out in the presence of Helium (He) with a high voltage. CAP is composed of various electrons, positive/negative ions, reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), radicals, excited molecules, energetic photons (UV) and transient electric fields. Based on those compositions, CAP exposure has been shown to be highly effective in several applications including: germicidal and sterilization, wound healing, blood coagulation, material surface modifications and crosslinking, and treatment of various diseases, including cancer.
