Abstract

Plasma here refers to the fourth state of matter which has wide-ranging applications—right from industrial to biomedical. A word of caution: The term “plasma” should not be mixed up with the blood “plasma”—which is entirely different from the fourth state of matter—the subject area of this chapter. The interaction of this plasma—fourth state of matter—with the first (and to some extent the second state as well) state of matter is an area that brings about vast application potential. Primarily the energy content in a plasma state is orders of magnitude higher than the energy content of the other three states of matter. This large energy content is what is used for various applications mentioned above. This chapter contains in brief the basics of plasmas, types of plasma and nanoscience, and then describes in detail how plasmas can be used for various material processing—especially preparation of nanomaterials. Care has been taken to provide more experimental details in a simple flowing language. Images (mostly related to the author’s own work) have been included for better clarity and easy understanding.
