Abstract Plasma medicine refers to the application of nonequilibrium plasmas at approximately body temperature, for therapeutic purposes. Nonequilibrium are weakly ionized gases which contain charged and neutral species electric fields, emit radiation, particularly in visible ultraviolet range. Medically-relevant cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) sources devices usually dielectric barrier ...

Biomaterials are currently applied in increasingly complex areas such as tissue engineering, bioprinting and regenerative medicine. To this end, challenging combinations of biomaterial properties required which usually cannot be met by conventional biomaterials. Since the early 2000s, several new concepts have been proposed to render biomaterials self-healing order improve functionality traditi...
