Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. In this study, the atmospheric pressure plasma jet system (APPJS), which dispersed a plasma by injected gas pressure, was used to solve drawbacks of conventional sterilization methods of an atmospheric pressure plasma. To confirm that APPJS is superior to conventional plasma systems in the sterilization process, the characteristics of APPJS is compared with those of conventional plasma systems. In addition a sterilization mechanism of each type was investigated by a parametric study of the plasma.
