Atmospheric pressure plasma processing has attracted significant interests over decades
due to its usefulness and a variety of applications. Adhesion improvement of polymer …

In this paper, polyester (PET) and polypropylene (PP) films are modified by a dielectric
barrier discharge in air, helium and argon at medium pressure (5.0 kPa). The plasma …

This chapter will give an overview of various plasma treatment methods, including plasma
etching, plasma activation, functionalization, plasma-induced grafting, and plasma …

In this paper, a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating in different atmospheres (air,
nitrogen, helium and argon) and at medium pressure is employed to modify the surface …

In this work, medium pressure plasma treatment of polylactic acid (PLA) is investigated. PLA
is a biocompatible aliphatic polymer, which can be used for bone fixation devices and tissue …

In this paper, a polyester non-woven is plasma treated with a dielectric barrier discharge
(DBD) in air at medium pressure (5.0 kPa) and at different discharge powers. Results show …

This paper presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies aimed at developing
mathematical models for plasma–polymer interactions. Experiments on plasma treatment of …

Radio-frequency discharges are known to operate in two different regimes. The alpha
regime of low current density and the gamma regime with higher current density. Our recent …

Barrier discharges (BDs) can be operated in so-called diffuse modes. In contrast to the usual
filamentary regime, which is characterized by a large number of individual microdischarges …

Atmospheric air plasma treatment based on Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) technology
has been used to oxidise various polyester material such as film, nonwoven and woven …
