Surface Barrier Discharge

Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge has proven its capabilities as an industry-ready plasma source for fast, in-line and efficient plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure. One parameter required by industry is energy efficiency of the device. In this paper, we present the energy efficiency of the whole plasma system, and we investigate possible sources of errors.

The research deals with plasma treatment of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic (ABS). The plastic was treated with Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD) and Gliding arc at atmospheric pressure. ABS was chosen because of its low price, wide use in industry. Samples were analyzed with contact angle measurement and the surface energy was determined as well. The results show that only a few seconds of plasma treatment can cause relatively large wettability change.<br /><br />

In presented work the influence of dielectric barrier thickness on the parameters of Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge was investigated. The discharge was operated at atmospheric pressure laboratory air. The electrical parameters of the system were studied both experimentally and using numerical simulations. The discharge pattern was studied as well using intensified CCD camera.

Surface Barrier Discharge

Cold plasma generated in air at atmospheric pressure is an extremely effective antimicrobial agent, with proven efficacy against clinically relevant bacterial biofilms. The specific mode of bacterial inactivation is highly dependent upon the configuration of the plasma source used. In this study, the mode of microbial inactivation of a surface barrier discharge was investigated against Escherichia coli biofilms grown on polypropylene coupons. Different modes of exposure were considered and it was demonstrated that the long-lived reactive species created by the plasma are not solely responsible for the observed microbial inactivation. It was observed that a synergistic interaction occurs between the plasma generated long-lived reactive species and ultraviolet (UV) photons, acting to increase the antimicrobial efficacy of the approach by an order of magnitude. It is suggested that plasma generated UV is an important component for microbial inactivation when using a surface barrier discharge; however, it is not through the conventional pathway of direct DNA damage, rather through the synergistic interaction between liquid in the biofilm matrix and long-lived chemical species created by the discharge.
