Abstract
Disclosed herein are flexible plasma applicators based on fibrous layers that are capable of rapidly sanitizing a surface via either direct or indirect contact with said surface.
Claims20
A plasma applicator consisting of a first substrate layer, a second substrate layer, and an adhesive layer;
- wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are comprised of a fibrous base layer and a metallic surface layer,
- wherein the adhesive layer binds the fibrous base layer of the first substrate layer to the fibrous base layer of the second substrate layer, wherein the metallic surface layer of the first substrate layer and the metallic surface layer of the second substrate layer is exposed, and
- wherein the metallic surface layer of the first substrate layer and the metallic surface layer of the second substrate are configured to be placed in conductive contact with a high voltage source to generate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) upon exposure to a high voltage source.
A plasma applicator consisting of a first substrate layer, a second substrate layer, an adhesive layer, and a polymer coating layer,
- wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are comprised of a fibrous base layer and a metallic surface layer,
- wherein the adhesive layer binds the fibrous base layer of the first substrate layer to the fibrous base layer of the second substrate layer and wherein the polymer coating layer is applied to the metallic surface layer of at least one of the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer, and
- wherein the metallic surface layer of the first substrate layer and the metallic surface layer of the second substrate are configured to be placed in conductive contact with a high voltage source to generate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) upon exposure to a high voltage source.
