Organic and Bio Material Surface Modification Via Corona Discharge Induced Atmospheric-cold Plasma

This paper is to elucidate on the cold plasma-mediated surface modification of organic cells and biomaterials. We demonstrate that the non-aggressive cold plasma can apply on organic materials without causing thermal and electrical damages. The atmospheric pressure cold plasma was generated by utilizing the combination of corona discharge-induced plasma on a tip edge, and the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). Specifically, this work presents the transformation of the hydrophobic to the hydrophilic surface of sunflower seeds. Therefore, our cold plasma becomes an alternative method of surface treatment for the organic- and bio-materials.
