Abstract:Present research at Boise State University (BSU) has demonstrated the ability of low
temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) cold atmospheric
pressure plasma (CAP) devices to remove bacterial biofilms on steel substrates. Although
bacteria may easily be inactivated by plasma treatment, the remains of the organism are
still present on the substrate. It is shown that single element DBD CAP discharge devices
operating at 2100 Vr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
