Lycopodium particles which are spores of the plant Lycopodium clavatum were exposed to cold oxygen and nitrogen plasma irradiation. Wetting properties of the particles changed dramatically from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Plasma treatment allowed obtaining stable water suspensions of lycopodium. Plasma treatment did not affect the morphology of lycopodium particles. The reported results open the way for surfactants-free manufacturing suspensions of hydrophobic particles.
石松子颗粒,即石松植物的孢子,被暴露于冷氧和氮等离子体辐射中。颗粒的润湿性从疏水性显著变为亲水性。等离子体处理使得能够获得稳定的石松子水悬浮液。等离子体处理并未影响石松子颗粒的形态。所报道的结果为无表面活性剂制造疏水性颗粒的悬浮液开辟了道路。
