Plasma enhanced modification of xanthan and its use in chitosan/xanthan hydrogels

This study reports the design and construction of a fluidized bed/non‐equilibrium atmospheric‐pressure‐plasma reactor. The mechanical design of the reactor was devised to modify chemically and physically the surface of different powders. The basis for developing the design and construction of the reaction system were the non‐equilibrium atmospheric‐pressure‐plasma phenomenon known as dielectric barrier discharge and the gas‐solid bubbling...
