Abstract

Dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are non-thermal plasmas which exist in a broad pressure range. A characteristic feature is that at least one electrode is covered by an insulating layer. They are able to effectively generate atoms, radicals and other excited species by energetic electrons. Therefore, they are widely used for industrial applications. Typical applications are ozone generation, environmental pollution control, excimer lamps, CO2-lasers, plasma displays and surface modification. In this paper, the literature on the application of DBDs for the treatment of textile materials is reviewed.
