PLASMA CHEMISTRY
This unique book provides a fundamental introduction to all aspects of modern
plasma chemistry. The book describes mechanisms and ics of chemical pro-
cesses in plasma, plasma statistics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and elec-
trodynamics, as well as all major electric discharges applied in plasma chemistry.
The book considers most of the major applications of plasma chemistry, from
electronics to thermal coatings, from treatment of polymers to fuel conversion
and hydrogen production, and from plasma metallurgy to plasma medicine. The
book can be helpful to engineers, scientists, and students interested in plasma
physics, plasma chemistry, plasma engineering, bustion, as well as in
chemical physics, lasers, energy systems, and environmental control. The book
contains an extensive database on plasma ics and thermodynamics, as well as
many convenient numerical formulas for practical calculations related to specific
plasma–chemical processes and applications. The book contains a large number
of problems and concept questions that are helpful in university courses related to
plasma, lasers, combustion, chemical ics, statistics and thermodynamics, and
high-temperature and high-energy fluid mechanics.
Alexander Fridman is Nyheim Chair Professor of Drexel University and Director
of Drexel Plasma Institute. His research focuses on plasma approaches to material
treatment, fuel conversion, hydrogen production, biology, medicine, and environ-
mental control. Professor Fridman has more than 35 years of plasma research expe-
rience in national laboratories and universities in Russia, France, and the United
States. He has published 6 books and 450 papers, chaired several international
