Nanoscale Cleaning
A clean surface with controlled and tunable surface chemistry can be critical for improving interfacial, biological, and electronic properties of materials for optimal device and structural performance. Plasma surface treatment removes nanoscale organic contamination and alters surface chemistry without affecting the bulk material. This page provides brief summaries on the benefits and applications of plasma cleaning.
Research Spotlight: Osteogenic Differentiation
Electrical stimulation plays a critical role in a cell’s interactions with its microenvironment, guiding proliferation, differentiation, and function. Consequently, electroactive materials hold significant promise as tissue engineering scaffolds, to...
Innovations in Disease Modeling 2024
Harrick Plasma is excited to sponsor Technology Network’s upcoming Innovation in Disease Modeling Online Symposium on April 24th and 25th! The event brings together leaders in disease modeling from across the globe and covers a wide range of disease...
Research Spotlight: Microplastics
Harrick Plasma Synthetic textiles such as polyester or nylon have many desirable properties, including low cost and moisture-wicking ability. However, synthetic fabrics shed large amounts of microplastics when the fabric rubs against itself during washing. These...
Solar Collectors
Non-toxic Electroplated Coatings for Solar Parabolic Trough Collectors Despite contributing to 50% of the global energy demand, thermal energy has often been neglected as an application for renewable energy technologies, instead losing ground to...
Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)
What is Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)? Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a modified form of Raman spectroscopy often used in the life sciences for cell analysis. SERS has also been used to detect chemical residues for...
