A plasma jet is a plasma source where a pair of metal electrodes with a sharp point, contained in a cylinder made of dielectric material, and is connected to a high voltage generator. A stream of Helium or Argon is blown in the insulated cylinder so that the electrode finds itself in contact with the gas. Due to the high electric field near the electrode’s sharp point, Helium or Argon ionizes and a mixture of electrons, ions and metastable atoms and molecules is blown by the flow stream towards the exit nozzle.

TA Instruments’ Q800 DMA, based on a combined motor and transducer design, uses advanced, non-contact, linear motors to control stress and measure strain with a highly sensitive optical encoder. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a technique used to measure the mechanical properties of a wide range of materials. DMA works primarily in the viscoelastic range of a material and is therefore more sensitive to structure than a typical tensile test. With its unique design, the Q800 is also ideal for high-stiffness applications including composites.
