Preface
In the early twentieth century, Dr. Irving Langmuir actively studied
plasma discharge and surface science. Since then, great progress
has been made in the development of applications of discharges
and plasmas such as discharge lamps, electric tubes, and arc
welding.
In relation to studies on space physics and controlled nuclear
fusion, plasma physics has greatly advanced.
Plasma chemistry has also progressed along with its applications in
LSI fabrication technology, the chemical vapor deposition of
functional films, and the production of nanomaterials.
In the twenty-first century, the further development of applications
of plasma physics and plasma chemistry is certainly expected.
In this book, 18 chapters on the recent progress in plasma science
and technology have been written by active specialists worldwide.

Abstract
In this chapter, induction plasma technology and its application for synthesis of nanoma‐
terials are introduced. Also, the scientific base for the induction plasma processing of ma‐
terials is briefly described. Two typical induction plasma systems developed by Tekna for
laboratory research and pilot-scale industrial production of nanomaterials, respectively,
are presented, together with various examples of the nanopowders, nanotubes, nanorods,
and nanowires synthesized using its facilities. The advantages of the induction plasma
process over the alternative techniques and its adaptability into industrial-scale operation
are particularly illustrated. Some specific issues related to the nanomaterial synthesis
process are also discussed.
Keywords: Inductively coupled plasma, synthesis, nanomaterials, nanopowders, nano‐
rods, nanotubes, nanowires
1. Introduction
Nanomaterials have been evolving into a large family including members such as nanoparti‐
cles, nanocomposites, nanocapsules, nanoporous materials, nanofibers, nanowires, nanorods,
nanotubes, fullerenes, quantum dots, and nanocoatings. Interest in nanomaterials has been
continuously increasing in the past decades. Owing to their unusual properties in various
aspects such as magnetic, conductive, optical, energetic, and catalytic, nanomaterials are
finding more and more industrial applications. [1–5] So far, there are hundreds of types of
nanomaterials in use or under development. The market and applications of the nanomaterials
can be found in various industries. Examples include inks and pigments, coatings and
adhesives in polymers, ultrafine polishing compounds [silicon dioxide (SiO) and aluminum
2
oxide (AlO)], sunscreens and other personal care products [titanium dioxide (TiO) and zinc
2 3 2
oxide (ZnO)], synthetic bone and tooth materials (calcium and phosphate), life sciences,
healthcare and medicines (drug delivery and bioanalysis), aerospace (e.g., lighter and stronger
