  • Abstract
    In recent years, atmospheric pressure plasma has attracted much attention in industrial fields, since it can be easily generated with simple equipment that excludes evacuation systems and, accordingly, it enables continuous processing of various materials in air. The practical use of the specific effects of energetic particles in plasma, such as ions, electrons, and radicals, is expected.
