“…APNEP is not the first plasma that can be operated by using a slightly modified commercial multimode MW cavity. The first example dates back to 1965 with the work of Fehsenfeld et al;29 more recent examples are listed in the literature 30–34. However, APNEP is the first example of a glow‐discharge plasma that operates at atmospheric pressure that is based on commercial multimode MW technology, thus combining the advantages of atmospheric operation with the use of readily available apparatuses.…”

We demonstrate that stable microwave‐coupled atmospheric pressure nonequilibrium plasmas (APNEPs) can be formed under a wide variety of gas and flow‐rate conditions. Furthermore, these plasmas can be effectively used to remove surface contamination and chemically modify polymer surfaces. These chemical changes, generally oxidation and crosslinking, enhance the surface properties of the materials such as surface energy. Comparisons between vacuum plasma and atmospheric plasma treatment strongly indicate that much of the vacuum‐plasma literature is pertinent to APNEP, thereby providing assistance with understanding the nature of APNEP‐induced reactions. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
