In this study, a simulation model is established to study the effect of surface conductivity on the accumulation of surface charge. The simulation shows that hetero-charges increase on areas away from the high voltage electrode and the electric field distribution along the surface becomes more uniform with increased surface conductivity. The dominant surface charging mechanism changes from conduct...Show More
The aim of this paper is to illustrate how a noninsulating surface in contact with a glow dielectric-barrier discharge induces the formation of microdischarges. Short-exposure-time pictures synchronized with the discharge show that microdischarges only occur when the conducting surface is on the cathode side and their duration is on the order of 5 mus. This long duration is confirmed by surface sc...Show More
A closed form analytical solution of the Pennes' bioheat equation was obtained for temperature distributions in the skin tissue subject to the sinusoidal heat flux. Phase shifts in the surface temperature response were revealed to be related to local blood perfusion rate and heating frequency. The influence of the thermal contact resistance on the perfusion estimation was investigated. It has been...Show More
With the increasing demand of high power density electronics, heat dissipation becomes an urgent problem. In order to address this problem, we introduce a surface modification method for silver that are employed as fillers to prepare the thermal conductive adhesive (TCA). After simple iodine pretreatment, there exist some nano-sized small structures on the surface of fillers. Compared to the contr...Show More
Commercialization of cyclic butylene terephthalate oligomers has opened the door to bulky poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) matrix composite parts.

Effective terahertz (THz) component and systems design requires accurate predictive models for the frequency-dependent conductivity of materials. We have measured the THz conductivity of metals (including rough surface effects) and doped silicon at 0.4 - 0.85 THz. After a comprehensive analysis, we conclude that the THz-regime conductivity of highly-doped Si is accurately described by Drude theory...Show More
This paper reports on experimental studies of chemical activities of pulse discharge plasmas generated in contact with water surface.

In this paper, Low density polyethylene (LDPE) films were surface treated in ozone atmosphere for different times (Oh, 1h, 2h, 4h, and 6h) to investigate the effect of surface oxidation on DC surface flashover characteristics in vacuum. Infrared (IR) was used to characterize surface chemical structure of specimens before and after ozone treatment. IR results show that oxygen atoms (O) are introduc...Show More
Epoxy resin samples were surface fluorinated using a F2/N2 mixture at different temperatures for the same time. ATR-IR analyses indicate substantial changes in surface chemical composition and structure by the fluorinations. SEM observations show an increase of thickness of the fluorinated layer and a change of its surface morphology with fluorination temperature. Conductivity measurements reveal ...Show More

Surface charge decay on thick flat samples of high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber is studied prior and after ac and dc corona pre-treatments. It is found that the charge decay rate on the material exposed to ac corona becomes much higher and sensitive to moisture content in the surrounding air.
