As a special service, the user group atmospheric pressure plasma ak-adp offers a current literature collection on atmospheric plasmas on the website. Here you will find current articles from the years 2022 and 2021 with title, author, country, link and a short summary.

This list is regularly maintained and expanded.

Feel free to take a look:

Literature collection on atmospheric plasmas | ak-adp

The planning of the dates for 2023 has been completed, and the topics and locations have been determined. In 2023, we will travel to Leipzig, Göttingen and Bamberg. We have again selected exciting topics for you and look forward to seeing you at our events.

The program for the 42nd ak-adp workshop is ready and registration is open.

The focus of the 42nd ak-adp is on the following key areas:

• special cleaning, activation and coating processes
• adhesive-free joining
• Plasma modification of polymer and stainless steel surfaces
• Durability of a plasma pretreatment?
• Cold plasma hardening
• Presentation of new developments and application examples of the equipment manufacturers

The concluding ak-adp-talk offers further opportunities for information and discussion. What is the easiest and safest way to measure the adhesion properties of a surface with the composite partner?

Under the focus "Surface energy under cross-examination", the provocative question is asked:

Test inks - humbug or fast and inexpensive tool for the practitioner?

For this purpose, we welcome competent employees of the analytical instrument manufacturers KRÜSS GmbH Hamburg and Dataphysics Instruments GmbH Filderstadt. Both companies have many years of experience in building special equipment for measuring surface properties to determine wettability and adhesion. Concrete measurement scenarios will be presented in impulse lectures, which can then be discussed from the perspective of the workshop participants. The measurement technology can be tested during the breaks.

Until 31.08.2022 it is possible to participate in the workshop at discounted rates. More info about the workshop and the registration can be found here.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 42nd ak-adp.

Applications of atmospheric plasmas for hygienically sensitive areas were the focus of presentations, discussions and exchange of ideas at the 41st ak-adp workshop in Hannover.

Königsworth Castle provided an inspiring ambience for the scientific and technical working meeting.

What is the potential of atmospheric pressure plasmas for sustainable applications for (waste) air & (waste) water treatment? Where are economically relevant applications in the field of food & packaging with a positive effect on the environment? What role do AD plasmas play in the field of pharmaceuticals & cosmetics?

The workshop gave impulses for new applications of atmospheric plasmas and showed ways to implement them. In particular, the panel discussion with the speakers and other experts and specialists contributed to this - many thanks to all participants!

The next ak-adp workshop will take place on 09 and 10 November 2022 in Naumburg. The main topic will be liability optimization. The lecture program, organizational information and online registration can be found at www.ak-adp.de.

The program for the 41st ak-adp workshop is now ready and registration is open. The 41st WS revolves around atmospheric pressure plasma for hygienically sensitive areas.

The main topics are:

• Classification, design and preparation of hygienically relevant surfaces
• Indoor air purification
• Integrated disinfection
• Surface disinfection
• Plasma and plasma activated water and food
• Plasma applications in cosmetics

The concluding ak-adp-talk with the speakers and other experts and specialists from business and research offers the opportunity for broad discussions. An impulse discussion contribution sheds light on the current needs of the packaging industry.

Stimulate new visions of the future with innovative ideas. Set the course for new applications of atmospheric plasmas.
