  • Atmospheric pressure plasma;
  • Dusty plasma;
  • Electron, ion, and plasma sources;
  • Low-temperature plasma;
  • Plasma diagnostics;
  • Plasma dynamics;
  • Plasma theory and modelling;
  • Atomic and molecular processes in plasmas;
  • Collision cross-sections;
  • Fundamentals of low-temperature plasmas;
  • Fundamentals of high-temperature plasmas;
  • Plasma–surface interactions;
  • Catalytic reactions with plasmas;
  • Plasma sources design and characterization;
  • Modelling and numerical simulations of plasmas;
  • Atmospheric/high-pressure plasmas;
  • Plasmas in contact with surfaces;
  • Plasmas in liquids/plasma–liquid interaction;
  • Plasma processing of materials, including etching and deposition;

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Plasma is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.

The properties of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) make them suitable for industrial and biomedical applications. They show many advantages when it comes to local and precise surface treatments, and there is interest in upgrading their performance for irradiation on large areas and uneven surfaces. The generation of charged species (electrons and ions) and reactive species (radicals), together with emitted UV photons, enables a rich plasma chemistry that should be uniform on arbitrary sample profiles. Lateral gradients in plasma parameters from multi-jets should, therefore, be minimized and addressed by means of plasma monitoring techniques, such as electrical diagnostics and optical emission spectroscopy analysis (OES). This article briefly reviews the main strategies adopted to build morphing APPJ arrays and ultra-flexible and long tubes to project cold plasma jets. Basic aspects, such as inter-jet interactions and nozzle shape, have also been discussed, as well as potential applications in the fields of polymer processing and plasma medicine. Full article
