3 ION ENERGY AND ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS (IEAD)
There is interest in adapting commodity corona-streamer discharges to high value processing – including functionalization of polymer beads for biomedical applications. Ion energy and angular distributions (IEAD) to particles suspended in atmospheric pressure plasma are important to activating surface chemistry. Example: Biodegradable porous beads are used for drug delivery and gene therapy. Beads are 10s µm in diameter Functionalized Porous Bead for Protein Binding sites ( University of Michigan Institute for Plasma Science & Engr. ICOPS2009_Natalie_03

6 DESCRIPTION OF THE PCMC MODULE
IEADs to surfaces are derived using the Plasma Chemistry Monte Carlo Module – a kinetic simulation of ion transport. Pseudo-particles (ions and neutrals) are launched from sites near the particle in the streamer channel determined by electron impact and heavy particles production rates. Monte Carlo techniques are used to advance their trajectories in time varying electric fields while accounting for elastic and inelastic collisions. The energy and angles of particles as they strike surfaces are recorded to provide a time averaged IEAD. Electric potentials computed on the unstructured nonPDPSIM mesh are interpolated onto a rectilinear structured mesh that overlays the unstructured mesh.

CONCLUDING REMARKS The IEAD on particles in the channel of positive and negative corona discharges in humid air were investigated. Large sheath potential generated as the streamer passes the particle. Two groups of ions strike the particle: Thermal low energy-high angle ions Energetic ions up to 10 eV can strike the particle The polarity of discharge and permittivity of particle determine the character of the IEAD. The ion energy to polymer surfaces can be as high as 30 eV due to sheath formation…large enough for surface activation. University of Michigan Institute for Plasma Science & Engr.
