Abstract

Plasma naturally exists throughout the universe, and recently, mankind has realized its vast technological applications. The scope of current plasma physics experiments has produced several well-established industrial applications in addition to several exciting new ones. This review aims to give a basic overview of the area of plasmas and the role plasma physics plays in current scientific endeavours to the broader scientific and technological community. This paper describes the benefits of plasma technology to humankind in various fields, including medicine and engineering disciplines like mechanical, chemical, and electrical. The technological applications include materials processing like semiconductor manufacturing, surface treatment, lighting, cutting by plasma, and plasma etching. Also, the various environmental applications of plasma as a roadmap to environmental sustainability are discussed. The possibilities for plasma physics in the future are summarized in conclusion.
