Plasma Technological Research for Electrical Engineering and Medicine — •Dirk Uhrlandt — INP Greifswald Felix-Hausdorff-Str. 2 17489 Greifswald

The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Research and Technology (INP) in Greifswald carries out application oriented and fundamental research in a broad area from materials and technologies for renewable energy and resource-efficiency up to applications in medicine and hygiene. The potential of current research will be illustrated by means of two examples: The deeper understanding of arcs and other discharges in power distribution systems supports new solution approaches for the challenges of the German Energiewende. Use of environmentally friendly materials and energy efficient solutions for the mobility sector and the long-distance power transfer are in the focus. Recent developments in the technology of cold atmospheric pressure plasma sources enable a variety of new applications in life science e.g. therapeutic treatment of chronic wounds in human and veterinary medicine. This becomes possible by the strongly interdisciplinary research from the detailed diagnostics of plasma sources, the explanation of the plasma-chemical, biochemical and cell-biological mechanisms up to the responsible clinical trials. The strategy to carry out interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research under one roof has led to meanwhile four spin off companies in the fields of diagnostics and plasma medicine and surface modification.
