Comparison of surface modification of polypropylene film by filamentary DBD at atmospheric pressure and homogeneous DBD at medium pressure in air
TL;DR: In this article, polypropylene (PP) films are modified using a non-equilibrium plasma generated by a DBD in homogeneous mode and in filamentary mode, and the surface properties of the PP films before and after the treatments are studied using contact angle and surface energy measurement, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Factors influencing the existence of the homogeneous dielectric barrier discharge in air at atmospheric pressure
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of homogeneous discharge are studied and compared with those of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) by measuring their electrical discharge parameters and observing their light-emission phenomena.

Formation of hydrophobic coating on glass surface using atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma in ambient air
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the plasma dose (the product of average discharge power and treatment time) of DBCD on the surface modification are studied, and the mechanism of interaction between the plasma and glass surface is discussed.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Surface Modification by Filamentary and Homogeneous Dielectric Barrier Discharges in Air
TL;DR: In this article, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films are modified using nonequilibrium plasma generated by homogeneous dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) in air at medium pressure.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge in Atmospheric Air for Glass-Surface Treatment to Enhance Hydrophobicity
TL;DR: In this article, a material-surface treatment using the nonthermal plasma generated by the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure in ambient air is carried out on a laboratory scale to see if the DBD can be used in enhancing the surface hydrophobicity.
