Plasmatiques

Plasmatiques is a French term formed from plasma, used as an adjective and as a noun in plural agreements. It designates things pertaining to plasma, the ionized state of matter, or to plasma in biological contexts. In English, the closest equivalents are plasmatic or plasma-related; French often uses plasmatiques to modify nouns in plural.

In physics and engineering, plasmatiques describes processes and devices that involve plasma: plasma generation, plasma etching, and plasma deposition are common in materials science and microfabrication. Plasma technologies enable surface modification, thin-film coatings, and sterilization. In medicine, cold atmospheric plasma and related methods are discussed with plasmatiques to indicate plasma-based therapeutic or diagnostic approaches.

In biology and medicine, the term relates to plasma as the liquid component of blood, and to cellular structures associated with the plasma membrane. Examples include protéines plasmatiques (plasma proteins) and membrane plasmique (plasma membrane). The noun form is rare in everyday usage, but the adjective plasmatiques appears frequently in French texts when describing plasma-related phenomena, proteins, or membranes.

Note: plasmatiques is chiefly used in French-language scientific literature. When translating into English, the context usually determines whether to render it as plasmatic or plasma-related, or to use the standard terms plasma proteins or plasma membrane.
