Plasma Technology Laboratory

Overview

          The Plasma Technology Laboratory has been established under Thai-Korean Research Collaboration Center (TKRCC), a leading edge program between Science and Technology Park, Chiang Mai University, Thailand (CMU STeP) and Center for Advanced Plasma Surface Technology, Sungkyunkwan University, Korea (CAPST, SKKU), since 2013. Our laboratory looks for the research and education opportunities in order to develops the engineering and scientific aspects associate with creating the collaboration in the Plasma Agriculture. In particular, fulfill the key plasma technology needed for agriculture and related areas.

Vision

         Become the excellence center with potential plasma equipment, funds, new knowledge and researchers in 2017.

Objectives

1.To activate the fundamental and applications research on characteristics of Plasma Agriculture area.

2.To initiate the project and business development for Plasma Agriculture area.

3.To promote the domestic and international network including partnership in Plasma Agriculture area.

Scope

  (LTEC Our laboratory focus on both fundamental and technological issues from plasma physics and chemistry to industrial applications. The laboratory is deal with improving food security levels by applies plasma source to sterilizing significant fungus and bacteria in agriculture products consists of seeds, vegetables and fruits.

Cold Jet Plasma Beam

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet is considered Volumetric Diffuse Non-thermal Plasma. It used inert gases such as He, Ar, Xe or N₂ as carrier gas to plasma splitting and leads to precursor. These precursors had extremely uniform intensity and result in improved plasma flowing on the sample surfac
