In this research, the effect of corona discharge surface modification on surface properties and water purification efficiency of electrospun polyacrylonitrile and thermoplastic polyurethane )PAN/TPU( nanofiber membranes has been investigated. The corona-treated PAN/TPU membranes were studied using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR), water contact angle, detection and enumeration of […]
AbstractIn this study, effects of the variation in the dielectric barrier discharge’s (DBD) gap distance and the nature of dielectric layers which cover both of the reactor electrodes on the electron density, mass fraction of excited argon atoms across the discharge gap, mean electron energy, ion and electron current density, and electron temperature are investigated […]
