Plasmochemical Processes and Their Technological Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We introduce you to the Processes Special Issue entitled “Plasmochemical Processes and their Technological Applications”. Today, plasma processing technologies slowly but fundamentally replace conventional production procedures in many important large manufacturing industries, such as the electronic industry, as well as create applications in the hygiene sector and in medical technology. Plasma processing of materials is of fundamental importance for aerospace, automotive, steel, biomedical, and toxic waste management industries. With the rapidly growing field of new emerging technologies, plasmochemical processes gain new applications in diamond and superconducting film growth and also in lighting technology (neon tubes, glass lasers, plasma displays).

This Special Issue invites you to contribute novel research of recent advances and innovations in the field of plasmochemical processing technologies. The Special Issue will provide a broad overview and cover different topics from plasma-chemical treatment of materials, plasma chemical synthesis, plasma etching, deposition and surface modification, to new methods for control of plasmas in surface treatments, plasma processes used in fabrication of microelectronic circuits, plasma technologies used in medical sector and biotechnology, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
