Low Temperature Plasma-Based Sterilization: Overview and State-of-the-Art

TL;DR: Low temperature, high pressure, non-equilibrium plAsmas are now routinely used in several material processing applications, and in some cases are competing with low pressure plasmas in areas where these have historically been dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive species in non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasmas: Generation, transport, and biological effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the most important mechanisms of generation and transport of the key species in the plasmas of atmospheric-pressure plasma jets and other non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasms are introduced and examined from the viewpoint of their applications in plasma hygiene and medicine and other relevant fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of the roles of reactive species, heat, and UV radiation in the inactivation of bacterial cells by air plasmas at atmospheric pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, emission spectroscopy and gas detection are used to evaluate important plasma inactivation factors such as UV radiation and reactive species, and it is shown that for non-equilibrium, atmospheric pressure air plasmas, it is the oxygen-based and nitrogen-based reactive species that play the most important role in the inactivation process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonthermal decontamination of biological media by atmospheric-pressure plasmas: review, analysis, and prospects

TL;DR: A review of various works on the germicidal effects of atmospheric pressure, "cold" plasmas, is presented in this article, where nonequilibrium discharge devices discussed in this review, which have been used in biological applications by various investigators, are the corona discharge, diffuse dielectric-barrier discharge, resistive barrier discharge, and the atmospheric-pressure plasma jet.
Journal ArticleDOI

On atmospheric-pressure non-equilibrium plasma jets and plasma bullets

TL;DR: In this article, the development of APNP-J is reviewed and a discussion on the interaction between plasma jets is presented. And the most interesting phenomena of the plasma bullet is discussed and its behavior described.
