📚 Can historical books be restored using plasma?

Mold can damage historical books and documents so severely that individual pages become permanently stuck together. Restoring such stuck pages is extremely challenging and often involves risks to the original.

In the DBU-funded research project PAPERLIGHT (project number: 40965/01), we are collaborating with the HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts and Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel to investigate how atmospheric cold plasma can be used to gently separate mold-induced blockages.

For this purpose, we are analyzing the mechanisms of action of various plasma species and investigating their impact on mold structures as well as historical paper fibers. Among other things, this research builds on the work of Friederike Johanna Nithack and Prof. Dr. Constanze Messal on the plasma treatment of mold-infested papers.

We are pleased to be part of this exciting research project and to contribute our expertise in the field of atmospheric plasma technology.

🔬 Technology Deep Dive | Part 4: Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD Technology)

To wrap up our technology deep dive series, we look at a plasma-induced process that neutralizes germs, viruses, and odors without adding chemical disinfectants: DBD Technology.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge generates non-equilibrium plasma through stochastically distributed microdischarges lasting only nanoseconds. These microdischarges efficiently excite gas molecules and generate reactive species (such as ozone and other RONS) while keeping the overall process temperature close to ambient levels.

Key advantages and operational highlights of DBD Technology:
🔹 Chemical-Free Disinfection: Eliminates odours, germs, viruses, moulds, and organic compounds through reactive species, without the addition of chemical disinfectants or additives
🔹 Compact & Highly Scalable: Designed in planar or cylindrical geometries, making it easy to integrate into air purifiers, medical systems, ventilation units, or specialized enclosures
🔹 High Energy Efficiency: Delivers exceptionally high power density with minimal thermal loss, operating safely and economically
🔹 Flexible Modular Systems: Powers solutions like the MediPlas Reactor and MediPlas Driver, widely used in infection research, medical technology, and modern air/water treatment applications

From high-speed industrial processing (PAA) and delicate substrate treatment (PDD) to chemical-free decontamination (DBD), atmospheric plasma provides safe, versatile, and sustainable solutions across all sectors. 🛠️

🔬 Technology Deep Dive | Part 3: Pulsed Atmospheric Arc (PAA Technology)

When production lines demand maximum speed, high-power surface treatment, or the safe processing of ESD-sensitive components like electronics, PAA Technology is the answer. Built for industrial automation, this technology delivers high-performance surface activation for fast-moving manufacturing processes.

PAA operates by igniting an electric arc between two electrodes using a unipolar pulsed high-voltage source. A forced gas vortex rotates the arc around the nozzle cathode, preventing local "hot spots" and creating a highly reactive plasma jet (using compressed air or nitrogen). When using compressed air, oxygen-based compounds functionalize the substrate by creating polar end-groups, significantly increasing surface energy and wettability.

Key advantages and operational highlights of PAA Technology:
🔹 High Power Density: Operates in the kilowatt range to enable fast inline speeds for demanding bonding, coating, and cleaning applications
🔹 Long-Term Stability & Low Wear: The rotating vortex design ensures minimal nozzle heating and extremely low electrode erosion, guaranteeing reliable continuous operation
🔹 Process Control & Automation: Precise control over distance and speed prevents unwanted thermal over-treatment, making it suitable for automated plastic and metal processing lines
🔹 Versatile Industrial Systems: Powers high-performance automated solutions like the PlasmaBrush PB3 for inline integration, as well as mobile tools like the PlasmaTool for flexible manual treatment

Stay tuned for Part 4, where we will complete the series with a closer look at DBD Technology and its role in decontamination and odor reduction! 🚀

🔬 Technology Deep Dive | Part 2: Piezoelectric Direct Discharge (PDD Technology)

When working with heat-sensitive polymers or delicate microfluidic components, high-temperature surface treatment is not an option. That is where PDD Technology comes in.

PDD generates a cold, active non-equilibrium plasma with a gas temperature of roughly 50°C. By efficiently transforming low input voltage into high electric field strengths, it ionizes the surrounding process gas (typically ambient air), allowing temperature-sensitive materials to be treated safely and gently without thermal damage.

Key advantages and operational highlights of PDD Technology:
🔹 Gentle Treatment: Treats temperature-sensitive substrates without structural distortion
🔹 High Efficiency & Compact Design: Low power consumption (e.g., up to 30 W in handheld format) paired with exceptional process stability and long component lifetimes
🔹 Versatile Integration: Powers portable handheld units like the PiezoBrush PZ3 for labs and manual assembly, as well as compact OEM modules like the PiezoBrush PZ3-i for automated production lines and 3D printing systems
🔹 Broad Application Spectrum: From optimizing wetting and adhesion before bonding, printing, or painting to specialized uses in microbiology, odor control, and germ reduction

Stay tuned for Part 3, where we will explore PAA Technology, engineered for high-power, high-speed industrial applications! 🚀

🔬 Technology Deep Dive: Matching the right plasma to your process

Different manufacturing challenges require different technological approaches. Whether you are treating delicate heat-sensitive substrates or running high-speed inline production, selecting the right plasma technology is key to process success.

Over the coming weeks, we will break down our three core atmospheric plasma technologies:
🔹 PDD Technology (Piezoelectric Direct Discharge): Cold atmospheric plasma designed for sensitive materials and precision applications
🔹 PAA Technology (Pulsed Atmospheric Arc): High-power plasma built for fast-moving inline processes and heavy-duty surface activation.
🔹 DBD Technology (Dielectric Barrier Discharge): Gentle treatment optimized for decontamination, germ reduction, and odor control

💡 Why atmospheric plasma? Unlike low-pressure vacuum systems, atmospheric plasma integrates directly into continuous production lines. By eliminating time-consuming vacuum evacuation cycles, it drastically increases production throughput and saves precious processing time, all while reducing gas consumption and enabling low-chemical processing.

Follow our page to catch Part 2, where we dive deep into the PDD Technology! 🚀

❓ Got technical questions about integrating the PiezoBrush PZ3-i? We’ve got answers!

Integrating cold plasma into automated production lines requires precise process planning.

Here are three frequently asked technical questions regarding our PiezoBrush PZ3-i:

🔹 What treatment widths can be achieved? It depends on the process gas and setup:
• Compressed air: 2 – 29 mm (depending on the chosen module)
• Nitrogen: Up to 50 mm
• Broader areas: Easily achievable by arranging multiple PZ3-i units in parallel

🔹 At what process speeds can it operate? Speed varies by application and substrate:
• Fine cleaning: ~1 – 50 mm/s
• Surface preparation for bonding: 10 – 150 mm/s
• High-speed printing processes: 100 – 1,500 mm/s

🔹 How high should the extraction rate be? With a recommended gas flow of 8 - 20 L/min through the unit, the extraction rate should be roughly ten times the total gas flow, meaning a minimum extraction rate of at least 500 L/min.
