Summary form only given. Atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasma jets (APNP-Js) generate plasmas in open space rather than in confined discharge gaps and are promising for applications in materials processing, nanotechnology, and plasma medicine. High-speed photographs have shown that the plasma plumes are in fact composed of bullet-like plasma volumes travelling at speeds of 10 4 -10 5 m/s. It is now generally agreed that the plasma bullets are similar to cathode-directed streamers 1 . For the propagation of cathode-directed streamers, free electrons ahead of the streamer front are needed; Photo-ionization is one of the key mechanisms to produce these free electrons. The existing theoretical models suggest possible critical roles of the local electric field induced by space charges, as well as photo-ionization and residual electron effects. However, we are not aware of experimental reports on the effect of photo-ionization on the plasma bullet *** critical factor that affects APNP-Js is the density of residual electrons left from previous repetitive discharges. The density of these electrons could be much higher compared to the seed electrons produced by natural radioactivity; this makes it even more difficult to quantify the contribution of photo-ionization. However, no investigations into the APNP-J ignition phase are presently available, especially to verify the common assumption that the residual electron density within the streamer propagation channel is high. In this work, complementary experiments and numerical modeling reveal the important role of photo-ionization in the propagation of plasma bullets. It is shown that the minimum electron concentration ~108 cm-3 is required for the regular, repeated propagation of the plasma bullets, while the streamers propagate in the stochastic mode below this threshold. The stochastic-to-regular mode transition is related to the higher background electron density in front of the propagating bullets.

Urethral strictures were common disease caused by over-expression of extracellular matrix from fibroblast. In this study, we compare two nanoyarn scaffolds for improving fibroblasts infiltration without inhibition the over-expression of extracellular matrix. Collagenlpoly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone)(ColIP(LLA-CL)) nanoyarn scaffolds were prepared by conjugated electrospinning and dynamic liquid electrospinning, respectively, in addition, co-axial electrospinning technique was combined with the nanoyarn fabrication process to produce nanoyarn scaffolds loading Wntsignaling pathway inhibitor. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds were examined and morphology was observed by SEM. Cell morphology, proliferation and infiltration on the scaffolds were investigated by SEM, MTT assay and H&E staining, respectively. The release profiles of different scaffolds were determined using HPLC. The results indicated that cells showed an organized morphology along the nanoyarns and considerable infiltration into the nanoyarn scaffolds prepared by dynamic liquid electrospinning (DLY). It was also observed that the DLY significantly facilitate cell proliferation. The D-DLY could facilitate the infiltration of the fibroblasts and could be a promising scaffold for the treatment of urethra stricture while it may inhibit the collagen production.

A 35kV high temperature superconducting controllable reactor (HTS-CR) is under development and the electromagnetic design has been completed. Due to the AC conditions, the thermal stress caused by AC losses can be so strong that the stress analysis should be carried out to verify that the maximum stress under different operating conditions is in appropriate range. In addition, Lorentz force of HTS windings will impact the bobbin structure of the HTS windings which will endanger the 35 kV HTS-CR. Stress analysis is important for the design of a mechanically stable structure. This paper provides the analysis of the bobbin structure and its result of optimization design considering the requirements of safety and cooling.

We analyze the electromagnetic interaction between local surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and an atmospheric surface wave plasma jet (ASWPJ) in combination with our designed discharge device. Before discharge, the excitation of the SPPs and the spatial distribution of the enhanced electric field are analyzed. During discharge, the critical breakdown electric field of the gases at atmospheric gas pressure and the surface wave of the SPPs converted into electron plasma waves at resonant points are studied. After discharge, the ionization development process of the ASWPJ is simulated using a two- dimensional fluid model. Our results suggest that the local enhanced electric field of SPPs is merely the precondition of gas breakdown, and the key mechanism in maintaining the discharge development of a low-power ASWPJ is the wave-mode conversion of the local enhanced electric field at the resonant point.

This paper reports a cold atmospheric pressure DC-driven air plasma brush. Three stainless steel needles are symmetrically mounted on a slot shaped PVC slab to act as the elec- trodes. The brush driven by a direct current (DC) power supply can generate an air plasma glow up to 30 mm wide with no inert gas addition and no air flow supplement. The plasma glow appears uniform no matter what kinds of material are processed. The measured current and the simulated current all show that each pulsed discharge including two peaks always oc- curs for different gaps between electrodes. Emission spectra measurement result shows that the obtained rotational temperatures are 300 K and the vibrational temperatures are 2250 K. Some reactive species are presented in the plasma glow, which suggest that the proposed plasma brush is beneficial to practical applications.
