▼ Synthetic membranes have a high separation efficiency, small footprint, low energy consumption and ease of operation, making them an attractive alternative to traditional separation operations. For this reason, membranes have been extensively studied for the treatment and recycling of bitumen-containing wastewaters. Such wastewaters include petroleum produced water, residual pipeline cleaning solutions and contaminated water from oil spills. Ceramic membranes are preferred in these applications over polymeric membranes because they are highly resistant to solvents and can be operated at high temperatures over a wide range of pH. Fine clays and silicates, coated with bitumen, are significant foulants for membrane filtration systems. These foulants possess acidic, basic and amphoteric groups, leading to the presence of both positive and negative surface charges. Ceramic membranes in aqueous media have a pH dependent surface charge. It was hypothesized that these surface charges are responsible for the high fouling of ceramic membranes that is observed when treating wastewaters containing bituminous fines. The overall objective of this research was to reduce fouling and increase the lifetime of ceramic membranes in treating oil sands produced water; an example of a wastewater containing bituminous fines. This goal was achieved through the surface modification of the ceramic membrane’s selective layer, as well as by the implementation of a novel in-place steam regeneration technique. All membrane filtration tests were performed with field samples of oil sands produced water that were supplied to CanmetMINING (NRCan) by three Canadian oil sands companies. Organosilanes are silicon-based monomers that can possess a wide array of chemical functionality due to their organic moieties. They are capable of reacting with oxide surfaces, and have seen extensive use as surface modification agents for ceramic membranes in various applications. To maintain desirable hydrophilic properties without surface charges, highly hydrophilic and non-ionic polyethylene oxide (PEO) based organosilanes were identified. These PEO-silanes were then used to modify ceramic membranes of several different selective layer materials, and the thermal stability of the silane layer was studied using FTIR, SEM, zeta potential and contact angle measurements. The modification procedure with PEO-silanes was first applied to lab-scale membrane disks, and subsequently to commercial scale multilumen membrane tubes that were tested in a pilot-scale system at CanmetMINING. Results obtained from both sets of experiments were promising and demonstrate that ceramic membranes can be surface modified in a way that successfully renders them fouling resistant to the bituminous fines present in these wastewaters. Upon surface modification, foulants were more readily released from the membrane surface, resulting in an enhanced flux and separation performance. A novel steam regeneration technique was also applied as a means of bituminous fouling alleviation. This…

▼ Cleaning is an essential domestic and industrial operation. It is particularly important in the food and pharmaceuticals sectors, where a large proportion of the total water consumption (as much as 70%) is used just for cleaning. Impinging liquid jets are frequently used for cleaning operations and currently, almost all industrial cleaning systems are based on empirical results. In an effort to develop efficient and sustainable cleaning systems, I have studied the flow field created by impinging liquid jets and their application in cleaning. On impingement of a liquid jet onto a surface, the liquid spreads radially outwards until it reaches a point where the liquid film changes its thickness abruptly. This transition from a thin film to a thick film is demarcated by a hydraulic jump. The supercritical thin film flow is also associated with higher momentum and shear stress, and is therefore, key for cleaning and heat transfer applications. For more than a century, it has been believed that these thin film hydraulic jumps are created due to gravity. However, in this dissertation it is shown both experimentally and theoretically, that these hydraulic jumps result from energy losses due to surface tension and viscous forces alone and gravity plays no significant role. The new theory allow the size of thin film region (location of the hydraulic jump) to be predicted and manipulated. The location where flow in the thin film becomes turbulent is also considered. The average-velocity and the location demarcating the laminar to turbulent transition were measured and showed good agreement with the model. The model for cleaning by normally impinging jets (by peeling mechanism) (Wilson et al., 2014) was then extended to consider cleaning by oblique impinging jets and compared with experimental data which showed a good agreement. Finally, cleaning scenarios arising in industrial systems where the liquid jets moves across a soiled surface were modelled. In these scenarios the liquid jet impinges obliquely and moves with varying velocity. A simple mathematical framework was developed for these systems on which more detailed models can build on.

▼ With device scaling, the current optical lithography technique is reaching its technological limit to print small features. Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV) lithography has shown promise to print extremely thin lines reliably and cost-effectively. Many challenges remain before introducing EUV to large scale manufacturing. The main challenge addressed in this study is particle removal from EUV mask surfaces (CrON1, CrON2, and fused silica) and thermal oxide (SiO₂). Effective pre-clean procedures were developed for each surface. As chemical cleaning methods fail to meet SEMATECH criteria, addition of megasonic energy to EUV mask cleaning baths is seen as a promising cleaning methodology. As the requirement to print fine lines needs to be met, all materials used in EUV mask fabrication either absorb the incident EUV wavelength light or reflect it. Therefore, the masks used in the industry will be reflective instead of the conventional transmissive masks. Also, for the same reason, no protective pellicle can be used leading to all the surfaces unprotected from particle contamination. To avoid the detrimental effect of the particle contamination, a cleaning study for nano-particle removal was performed. A dark field microscope was utilized to study the removal of gold nano-particles from surfaces. The cleaning procedures utilized H₂SO₄ and NH₄OH chemistries with and without megasonic irradiation. The cleaning variables were bath concentration, temperature, and megasonic power. The contamination variables were the gold nanoparticles charge and size, from 40nm to 100nm. For 100 nm negatively charged gold nano-particles deposited on a CrON1 surface, a 1:10 H₂SO₄:DI bath at boiling temperature (101°C) without megasonics gave high particle removal efficiency (PRE) values as did a 1:10 H₂SO₄:DI bath at 35°C with 100W megasonics. Comparison of removal of poly diallyl-dimethyl ammonium chloride (PDAC) coated and uncoated gold nano-particles deposited on a CrON1 surface using dilute H₂SO₄ baths indicated that the coated, positively charged nano-particles were more difficult to remove. PRE trends for different baths indicate surface dissolution (shown to be thermodynamically favorable) as the particle removal mechanism. However, experimental etch rates indicated minimal surface etching in a 10 minute bath. Increased surface roughness indicated possible local galvanic corrosion at particle sites. Low surface etching results meet SEMATECH requirements. During the fused silica surface cleaning study, particle charge (negative) and size (100 nm) of the contamination source and cleaning bath chemistry (NH₄OH) were kept constant. Low PREs were obtained at room temperature for all NH₄OH bath concentrations; however, high PREs were obtained at an elevated temperature (78°C) without megasonics and at room temperature in more dilute chemistries with megasonic power applied. Similar PRE trends were demonstrated for thermal SiO₂ surfaces. The experimental etch rates of the thermal SiO₂ agree with published values.

The residual organic matter in conventionally treated drinking waters may be sufficient for the formation of harmful disinfection by-products, and for supporting bacterial growth in distribution networks. Thus, nanofiltration has been proposed as an option for enhancing the organic matter removal from high organic load containing source waters. Given that little is known of the success of nanofiltration in removing residual organic matter from chemically pre-treated and rather pure surface waters, further research was required. In addition, more information was needed regarding fouling, operation, cost and environmental impact of nanofiltration process as a refining phase in surface water treatment. Long-term pilot-scale studies at an operating water treatment plant as well as laboratory-scale test runs using real and model feed waters were employed to evaluate the applicability of the nanofiltration process. Nanofiltration resulted in high and stable removal of organic matter after conventional surface water treatment in all circumstances that were studied. However, the nanofiltered water showed surprisingly high potential for microbial growth, and contained enough microbially available carbon and phosphorus for bacterial growth. Thus, disinfection using small dosage of chlorine is recommended as a safety barrier and for suppressing microbial growth in distribution systems after nanofiltration. In the cases studied, the use of nanofiltration membranes with high organic matter, and lowered inorganic matter retention, optimally met the requirements for treated water quality, as well as for the productivity and fouling of the membranes. However, the studied pre-treated feed waters caused intense flux decline of nanofiltration membranes and required short membrane cleaning intervals at the studied operational parameters. The results of the study also indicate that most feed water constituents, organic material, inorganic precipitates and micro-organisms, affect membrane fouling. Accordingly, it seems impossible to remove the membrane fouling tendency from surface waters. The study supports the consideration of nanofiltration as an efficient and reliable option for improving the quality of conventionally treated surface water in varying circumstances. However, in applications not requiring substantial improvement of organic matter or ion removals other process options may be more suitable and cost effective compared to nanofiltration.

▼ Nanotechnology is one of the most prospective technologies of this century and promises groundbreaking innovation in many fields due to the unique physicochemical characteristics of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). The potential impacts of ENMs on aquatic environments and humans currently receive significant attention by both regulators and academia. Currently, approximately a quarter of all nano-enabled consumer products (CPs) contain silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs are incorporated into a wide range of CPs (e. g., textiles, disinfectants, household appliances, industrial, medical, and scientific applications). The increased application of AgNPs will inevitably lead to their release into environmental systems. Therefore, the investigation and quantification of AgNPs in environmental matrices becomes critical to answer questions regarding their fate/transport and potential risks to the environment and human health. This dissertation aims to systematically explore the release of AgNPs in various environmental media. Also, this research work will aid in developing a rapid and sensitive approach for quantification of AgNPs-CPs in various matrices. First, the silver-containing nanoparticles were characterized in 22 consumer products that advertised the use of silver or colloidal silver as the active ingredient. A high degree of variability between measured and claimed values for total silver was detected. Primary silver particle size distributions by transmission electron microscopy showed two categories of particles - smaller particles (<5 nm) and larger particles (20-40 nm). This characterization study helps us to understand the potential human exposure risks posed by these CPs. Second, the dissolution trends of colloidal AgNPs in five products were investigated in deionized and tap water. These five CPs were selected from the characterization study. To expand our understanding on the fundamental mechanisms of dissolution of AgNPs in CPs, the dissolution behavior of AgNPs in various CPs was compared to well-characterized laboratory-synthesized AgNPs. We designed an experimental system where the capping agent and the total AgNP surface area in suspensions were the primary contributors to the dissolution trends by controlling the initial particle size and dissolution media. There were small differences in the dissolved masses of Ag+ between products, but we did not observe any significant differences in the dissolution trends obtained for deionized and tap water. All AgNP suspensions were shown to have the potential to persist as nanoparticles in aquous matrices for up to one month. This finding indicates AgNPs could lead to longer lifetime or increased transport in the environment. Third, a study of exposure between three differently-charged surface cleaning products and AgNPs was conducted to better understand the transformation and environmental impacts of AgNPs. Changes in size, morphology, color, and chemical composition were detected during a 60 min exposure. The implication of these changes could mean altered… Advisors/Committee Members: Dionysiou, Dionysios (Committee Chair).

▼ This work was concerned with the application of ice powder for material processing. Material cutting and surface cleaning were also studied. As a result, innovative cleaning and etching technology was pioneered. The corresponding technology was designed and demonstrated. The study involved investigation of water freezing, crushing of generated ice, ice transportation, formation of ice water and ice air streams and, finally, use of this stream for material cutting and cleaning. The theoretical work included investigation of the phase change in water and ice formation, effect of ice temperature on particles behavior and entrainment of ice particles by the water stream. Finite element modeling was used for investigation of particle entrainment process. The theoretical study was based on the examination of available information about ice behavior. The experimental study of the second mode of icejet formation involved design and construction of apparatus for generation of ice powder, formation of ice water and ice air streams and the use of these streams for cutting and cleaning. Six different devices for powder production were tested and an acceptable devise design was selected. A conventional nozzle head was used for formation of abrasive water jet in our experiment. Ice powder was supplied as the conventional abrasive materials. The obtained jet was used for cutting various metal samples. The feasibility of cutting steel, titanium, and other materials using ice as abrasive was demonstrated. However process productivity was low. Finite element analysis showed that only small portion of ice particles survive in the course of jet formation and in order to enhance process productivity it is necessary to prevent melting of the particles. Conventional gun for sand blasting was used for formation of ice air jet. The generated jet was used for various cleaning and decoating operations. The experiments involved removal of heavy conductive grease from an electronic board, emulsion from a photo film, and paint from CD-ROM, etc. The performed study demonstrated the feasibility of the use of the water ice as an abrasive material. Thus, such environmentally hostile technology as sand blasting can be replaced by green ice based processing. The feasibility of the use of ice as a machining tool and thus, formation of green machining technology was demonstrated. Advisors/Committee Members: E. S. Geskin, Zhiming Ji, R. S. Sodhi.

▼ Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast developing industry, with the aerospace, automotive and medical industries readily embracing the new technology. AM provides numerous benefits for design and production, however, one of the major problems preventing metal AM from overtaking conventional machining and casting processes is the high surface roughness of AM parts. In the medical industry, additive manufacturing is revolutionising medical devices with custom implant designs, and there is similar potential for complex surgical tools. These specialized parts require well finished surfaces that are able to be easily cleaned to prevent the spread of infection as well as being aesthetically pleasing or functional. In this thesis mass finishing and post-processing of additively manufactured parts were examined with the aim of producing end-use surgical instruments via additive manufacturing. Using the selective laser melting method, designed 17-4 PH stainless steel samples with various surface orientations and types were printed for investigating various surface finishing methods. 2D stylus profilometry was used to quantify the surface roughness and a scanning electron microscope was used to observe the sample surfaces. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used to measure the surface elemental composition to investigate the contamination of the surfaces throughout post-processing. The initial surface roughness of the samples was very high (Ra=13.5±2.0μm, Wa=4.0±1.5μm, Pv=103.8±17.7μm: inclined surface). Chemical polishing methods using hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric + nitric acid solutions were shown to be relatively ineffective at significantly reducing the surface roughness. Mechanical mass finishing processes, abrasive blasting and centrifugal disc finishing, were also investigated. Of the abrasive blasting processes white oxide vapour blasting produced the smoothest surfaces (Ra=2.1±0.4μm, Wa=3.2±1.1μm, Pv=25.3±4.8μm: inclined surface), but still not comparable to machined surfaces. Centrifugal disc finishing with ceramic media reduced roughness significantly, but the external radii significantly increased congruently and internal surfaces were unaffected by this process. After white oxide blasting, centrifugal finishing for 4 hours and performing a final glass bead blast, the smoothest surface was obtained (Ra=0.6±0.1μm, Wa=0.9±0.3μm, Pv=6.9±1.5μm: inclined surface). The order of these operations was also of significance as white oxide blasting after centrifugal finishing resulting in rougher surfaces. Contamination with aluminium oxide particles from white oxide blasting was able to be removed by glass bead blasting and then using a citric acid passivation to reduce the glass particle contamination. Wire electric discharge machining (a common process to remove AM parts from the build platform) of wrought Ti6Al4V and 17-4 PH stainless steel showed high amounts of copper and zinc present on the surface. Removal of these contaminants was attempted using acidic solutions. Titanium wire-cut surfaces responded only… Advisors/Committee Members: Woodfield, Tim (advisor).

Le contrôle de la mouillabilité de surface est un enjeu majeur pour le développement de matériaux innovants liés aux nano, bio et smart technologies. La mouillabilité est fonction de deux paramètres majeurs : l’énergie de surface du matériau et sa morphologie. La combinaison de ces deux paramètres est à la base de phénomènes tels que la super/parahydrophobie ou la superoléophobie. Ces capacités extrêmes à repousser les liquides avec soit une forte ou faible adhésion sont des propriétés de surface très intéressantes pour de multiples applications industrielles. La présente thèse propose l’étude d’une série de dérivés du polypyrrole élaborés par électrodéposition permettant d’influencer les paramètres régissant la mouillabilité de surface. Par cette approche, il a été possible d’élaborer des surfaces aux morphologies diverses avec une gamme de mouillabilité complète. Les différentes fonctionnalisations par des groupements hydrophobes greffés sur différentes positions préférentielles du monomère ont conduit à l’élaboration de surfaces para et superhydrophobes mettant en évidence l’impact de l’énergie de surface et de la morphologie sur la mouillabilité. Des études préliminaires ont mis en évidence la possibilité d’obtenir des morphologies variées allant de sphères jusqu’à des fibres à l’échelle du micro/nanomètre. Finalement, ces travaux contribuent à un contrôle en amont de la mouillabilité et de la morphologie de surface pour de nombreuses applications potentielles comme les matériaux collecteurs d’eau, les membranes séparatrices de liquide ou bien les revêtements auto nettoyant.

The control of the surface wettability is a key point for the development of innovative materials in several domains such as nano-, bio- and smart-technologies. The wettability is a function of two main parameters of the materials, such as the surface energy and the surface morphology. The combination of these two parameters allows to observe wetting phenomena as super/parahydrophobicity and superoleophobicity. These extreme abilities to repel liquids with different adhesion behaviors are very interesting properties for several industrial applications. This work presents a series of polypyrrole derivatives elaborated by electrodeposition allowing to influence the parameters driving the surface wettability. Following this approach, it was possible to develop surfaces with several types of morphology and different wetting behaviors from a low to high wettability. The different functionalizations using hydrophobic compounds grafted on various preferential positions on the monomer core yielded to para and superhydrophobic surfaces showing the impact of the surface energy and morphology on the wettability. Thanks to preliminary studies, it was showed the possibility to obtain several morphologies from spherical aggregates to fibers at the micro/nano scale. Finally, this work contributes to an upstream control of the surface wettability and morphologies for many potential applications such as water harvesting, separation membranes and…

▼ Despite advances in paints and coatings technology, protective coatings are prone to eventual corrosion, degradation and/or failure. Consequently, a corrosive layer will develop that can undermine the performance and integrity of structural components. Therefore, both the corrosive layer and defunct coating must be periodically removed, and an acceptable level of surface cleanliness and texture must be obtained prior to the reapplication of new paint. Currently, an array of processes and equipment are used for efficiently cleaning and conditioning metallic surfaces, such as grit blasting, needle guns, and a variety of non-woven and coated abrasive tools. This research investigates the method termed the "bristle blasting" process. The process utilizes a specially designed rotary bristle tool, which is dynamically tuned to a power tool spindle that operates at approximately 2,500 rpm. The present research suggests that the repeated collision of hardened bristle tips with a corroded steel surface results in both the removal of a friable corrosive layer and simultaneous exposure of fresh subsurface material. Surfaces generated by the bristle blast process are shown to mimic the visual cleanliness and anchor profile that is characteristic of grit blasting processes. One particular application evaluated during this research was offshore pipeline refurbishment and pre-treatment of weld seams prior to the application of protective coatings. Comparative analysis was done with conventional methods of surface treatment on the basis of visual cleanliness, surface profile generation and coating adhesion strength. The results obtained suggest that this novel technology performs better than the existing conventional power tool methods and is on an equal par with grit blasting methods. Moreover, the bristle blasting process is eco-friendly and does not use or generate hazardous waste, thereby providing a "green" approach to corrosion removal and surface preparation of steel components.

▼ As feature sizes in semiconductor devices become smaller and newer materials are incorporated, current methods for photoresist and post plasma etch residue removal face several challenges. A cleaning process should be environmentally benign, compatible with dielectric materials and copper, and provide residue removal from narrow and high aspect ratio features. In this work, sub-critical CO2 based mixtures have been developed to remove the etch residues; these mixtures satisfy the above requirements and can potentially replace the two step residue removal process currently used in the integrated circuit (IC) industry. Based on the chemical nature of the residue being removed, additives or co-solvents to CO2 have been identified that can remove the residues without damaging the dielectric layers. Using the phase behavior of these additives as a guide, the composition of the co-solvent was altered to achieve a single liquid phase at moderate pressures without compromising cleaning ability. The extent of residue removal has been analyzed primarily by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Various techniques such as attenuated total reflection - Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, angle-resolved XPS (ARXPS), and interferometry were used to probe the interaction of cleaning fluids with residues. Model films of photoresists and plasma deposited residues were used to assist in understanding the mechanism of residue removal. From these studies, it was concluded that residue removal takes place primarily by attack of the interface between the residue and the substrate; a solvent rinse then lifts these residues from the wafer. It has been shown that transport of the additives to the interface is enhanced in the presence of CO2. From positronium annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) studies on a porous dielectric film, it has been shown that these high pressure fluids do not cause significant changes to the pore sizes or the bonding structure of the film. Hence, this method can be used to remove post etch residues from low-k dielectric films. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Dennis W. Hess (Committee Chair), Dr. Amyn S.

▼ This thesis aims at gaining fundamental insight on colloidal interactions in two types of apolar media, namely, liquid CO₂ and (as a model for liquid CO₂) n-hexane. The other components playing major roles are surfactants and water. The background of the work was to address the challenges met in the use of liquid CO₂as a dry-cleaning solvent, in particular the insufficient removal of particulate soil. Since the dielectric constant of liquid CO₂ is extremely low (1.6 at 60 bar and 10 °C), it has a low individual Hamaker constant. This in turn leads to a many orders of magnitude higher van der Waals force between interacting surfaces through liquid CO₂ as opposed to traditionally employed solvents like perchloroethylene (PERC), which are toxic and environmentally unfriendly. Both the absence of charge on surfaces and the high Van der Waals force mean that a high solvodynamic force (high Reynolds number) is required to dislodge particles from fabrics. The situation becomes worse in the presence of water (without a suitable surfactant), which is a minor component in any dry-cleaning formulation. Our atomic force microscopy results indicate that water-mediated capillary bridges can lead to higher adhesion forces between the interacting surfaces. The roughness and softness of the surfaces were found to affect the kinetics, magnitude and range of the interaction force. Further, we have shown that using suitable surfactants these forces can be reduced. Following a systematic selection approach based on the hypothesis that a hydrocarbon surfactant for liquid CO₂ should have a low molecular weight and a branched t-butyl tail in its alkyl part, Igepal CA520 was chosen. This surfactant has an ethylene oxide (EO) chain as a headgroup (C_iEO_j type surfactant). The surfactant solubility was tested first in the model solvent, followed by measuring its cloud point in the liquid CO₂ system, which showed that the surfactant is soluble at ~ 50 bar and 5 - 10 °C (CO₂ dry-cleaning conditions). Furthermore, we found that Igepal CA520 was surface active at the water - liquid CO₂ interface. Igepal CA520 was further tested in a pilot scale dry-cleaning apparatus, where it showed marked improvement in detergency of particulate soil. The interfacial behaviour of the surfactant - water - liquid CO₂ system was also studied using the self-consistent field theory of Scheutjens and Fleer (SF-SCF). We showed that the interfacial tension of bare water - CO₂ interface decreases with increasing pressure and becomes invariant of pressure beyond the saturated vapour pressure. The water contact angle on a hydrophilic surface in CO₂ increases with increasing pressure. The first phenomenon was explained from the increasing Gibbs excess of CO₂ at the water - vapour interface. The increase in contact angle was shown to result from the adsorption of… Advisors/Committee Members: Wageningen University, Martien Cohen Stuart, Mieke Kleijn.

▼ Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) sources have emerged as economical and environmentally friendly sources of reactive species with promising industrial and biomedical applications. Many different sources are studied in the literature for advanced applications including surface disinfection, wound healing, and cancer treatment, but the underlying mechanisms for these applications are not well-understood. The overall goals of this dissertation are to 1) identify how plasma treatments induce surface modifications and which plasma species are responsible for those modifications; 2) identify how changes in surface and plasma chemistry contribute to changes in biological activity of biomolecules; and 3) investigate how fluxes of reactive species produced by atmospheric pressure plasma devices can be controlled. As a first step, a well-studied low pressure plasma system was used to isolate the effects of ions, high energy photons, and radicals using Ar and H2 plasma. The finding that plasma-generated radicals can biodeactivate and modify films with negligible etching motivated further study at atmospheric pressure. Two very different CAP sources were used under mild, remote conditions to study the biological deactivation of two immune-stimulating biomolecules: lipopolysaccharide (LPS), found in bacteria such as Escherichia coli, and peptidoglycan, found in bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. The surface chemistry was measured to understand which plasma- generated species and surface modifications are important for biological deactivation. To simplify the complex molecular structure of the biomolecules and study specific moieties, model polymer films were studied including polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), polyvinyl alcohol, and polypropylene. The interaction of the plasma plume with the environment was studied as a parameter to tune surface modifications. It was found that increasing ambient N2 concentrations in an N2/Ar ambient decreased surface modifications of LPS, similarly to how adding N2 to the O2/Ar feed gas decreased the plasma-generated O3 density and O atom optical emission. In this work, we first observed the formation of surface-bound NO3 after plasma treatment, which had not been reported in the literature. The plasma-ambient interaction was further studied using polystyrene as a model system. This detailed study demonstrated a competition between surface oxidation and nitridation, the latter of which occurs under very specific conditions. It was found that NO3 formed on all the materials studied in this dissertation after plasma treatment. This NO3 formed after treatment by both sources, but in different concentrations. The surface-bound NO3 correlated better with changes in biological activity than general oxidation, demonstrating its importance. Studying model polymers revealed that this surface moiety preferentially forms on – OH containing surfaces. Since the atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) operates with low N2/O2 admixtures to Ar and the surface microdischarge (SMD) operates with N2/O2… Advisors/Committee Members: Oehrlein, Gottlieb S (advisor).
