Cold Atmospheric Plasma (Cap) Technology and Applications
暫譯: 冷大氣等離子體 (CAP) 技術與應用

冷大氣等離子體（Cold atmospheric plasma, CAP）是一項有前景且快速發展的技術，適用於從日常生活到工業的廣泛應用。CAP 的主要優勢在於其獨特的能力，能有效地將反應性物質傳遞到包括生物材料、液體介質、氣溶膠和製造表面等對象。本書評估了 CAP 研究和應用的最新進展，涵蓋農業、醫學、環境、材料、催化和能源等領域。書中介紹並探討了等離子體中關鍵反應性物質的生成和傳輸機制，並在其應用的背景下進行分析。討論了新技術、新想法/概念、擴展的多學科研究以及新應用的機會與挑戰。作者提出了跨多個學科的趨勢融合的願景，以激發關鍵討論、研究方向和合作。

Dr. Richard E. Wirz is a Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), holds a joint faculty affiliate appointment at NASA JPL, and is an advisor to the United States Air Force and Space Force. He is the Director of the UCLA Plasma and Space Propulsion Laboratory and Energy Innovation Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). His research interests focus on plasmas, materials, and space electric propulsion (EP). He developed the world's first miniature noble gas ion thruster (MiXI) which is an enabling technology for precision formation flying of large multi-spacecraft interferometers, and critically enhancing for a wide range of new missions. His lab has also developed the first self-consistent, multidimensional hybrid plasma discharge model which has been used successfully in the design of ion thrusters of all sizes. His research in the area of plasma-material interactions (PMI) has lead to the discovery of the "plasma-infusion" properties of plasma-facing complex surfaces, which is a new material regime for high-energy density applications from fusion energy to propulsion. His Energy Innovation Laboratory has developed new approaches to wind and solar energy including the "biplane" wind turbine and sulfur-based thermal energy storage. Most recently, his lab investigated the effect of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on cancer therapy, especially for cancer immunotherapy, and virus disinfection. He has authored over 200 publications, 2 NASA Tech Briefs, and has several patents in these areas. He has received the AFOSR Young Investigator Award and the Northrop Grumman Excellence in Teaching Award.
