Generation & Application of Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas (Physics Research and Technology Series)

This book presents and discusses current research in the study of atmospheric pressure plasma, which is a relatively new plasma technique. It is characterised by its uniformity, stability and reactivity, which are necessary for high-technology. This technique has already been or will be applied for large area surface treatment systems of engineering plastic films for adhesion improvement, surface cleaning of glass substrates for liquid crystal displays, treatment of powders and the treatment of gas barrier films.
