ABSTRACT

Plasmas are chemically active high-intensity media of ionized and excited species, which have wide applications in various areas. Plasma treatment can change the surface and other characteristics of materials, such as, their mechanical and chemical properties. While various aspects of plasma and their applications have been studied so far, there remains considerable potential for plasma applications that needs development. Herein, we have an introduction to one such unprecedented application of plasma, namely, in the field of paper deacidification.
