Ascorbate maintains a low plasma oxygen level [PDF]
Abstract In human blood, oxygen is mainly transported by red blood cells. Accordingly, the dissolved oxygen level in plasma is expected to be limited, although it has not been quantified yet. Here, by developing dedicated methods and tools, we determined that human plasma pO 2

Introduction of functional groups on polyethylene surfaces by a carbon dioxide plasma treatment [PDF]
Poly(ethylene) (PE) films were treated with a carbon dioxide (CO2) plasma to study the formation of oxygen-containing functional groups at the surface. Modified and nonmodified films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water ...

Resistance abilities of (100)/(111)-faceted diamond films against oxygen plasma etching
The resistance abilities of (100) and (111)-faceted diamond films against oxygen plasma, 100 μm as film thickness, were investigated by the microwave power chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) technique.

Surface treatment of a polypropylene film with a nitrogen DBD at medium pressure [PDF]
Surface treatment of polymer films is usually necessary to improve surface wetting and adhesion characteristics. Traditional liquid chemical processes have several disadvantages in contrast to dry finishing processes, like plasma technology.

Oxygen plasma modification of polyurethane membranes
Polyurethane membranes were prepared under nitrogen atmosphere by using various proportions of toluene diisocyanates (TDI) and polypropylene-ethylene glycol (P) with addition of no other ingredients such as catalysts, initiator or solvent in order to achieve medical purity. Effects of composition on mechanical properties were examined.
