Comparison of hydrophilization effect by various gas atmospheric plasma

Atmospheric pressure plasma devices provide some advantages in industrial fields because they don't require vacuum equipment. Recently, many types of atmospheric pressure plasma sources have been developed, such as capacitive coupled glow discharge, corona source and plasma jet such as plasma burret. In particular, atmospheric plasma jet sources have been attracted attention because of its usefulness for surface treatment or sterilization. However, conventional plasma jet sources have some limitations in the plasma gas spaces and problem of irradiation damage for target surface such as thermal or electric discharge damage.
