Large area cleaning and activation of float glass by atmospheric pressure plasma as a pre-treatment phase of functional glass manufacturing process

The poster contribution reports on surface activation and cleaning of soda-lime float glasses using atmospheric pressure plasmas: diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) and multi-hollow surface dielectric barrier discharge (MHSDBD). The conditions for achieving an effective and non-invasive surface modification suitable for large area in-line treatment were obtained by plasma of the DCSBD.
