Description Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD) is a novel type of atmospheric-pressure plasma source capable to generate diffuse „cold“ atmospheric-pressure plasmas in air, oxygen and other standard plasma gases at extremely high plasma power densities reaching the order of 100 W/cm3. As indicated by XPS, MALDI and surface energy measurements, a 3 sec. treatment of glass surface results in a complete hydrophilization of the glass surface due to a significant reduction of adsorbed organic contaminants and an increase of surface hydroxyl groups density. The efficiency of the proprietary DCSBD-based method for the glass surface treatment will be demonstrated by the results on sol-get TiO2 layer deposition, CONLOC glass bonding, lamination of PVB sheets, nanoparticles surface immobilization and ITO conductive glass cleaning.
