Laboratory for Plasma Nanosynthesis at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (LPN-PPPL) combines PPPL expertise in plasma science with the materials science capabilities of Princeton University and other institutions. LPN-PPPL is conducting collaborative research on the fundamental physics of plasma synthesis of nanomaterials with the goals to understand, predict, and ultimately control the synthesis processes starting from the plasma generation to nucleation and growth of nanoparticles and nanostructures. The LPN-PPPL research program focuses on the integration of three areas:
Nanoparticle Synthesis
- Acid hydrolysis of cellulose
- Carbon nanotube synthesis
- Carbon-60 synthesis
- Communition
- Grinding
- Kraft process
- Milling
- nanoparticle precipitation
- Nanotemplated growth
- Pharmacological synthesis techniques
- Photothermal synthesis
- Plasma spray
- Reverse micelle process
- Spray drying
- Stober process
- Supercritical expansion
- Vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) nanofiber synthesis
- Vaporization
- Wire electric explosion
Tekna Plasma Systems Inc. is the world leader in induction plasma technology. Tekna specializes in the development, design and construction of integrated plasma systems for nanoparticle synthesis, coating applications, and powder plasma treatments such as spheroidization and purification for laboratory research and industrial-scale processes.
