Objective

The aim of the project is to develop a continuous on-line atmospheric plasma process (speed 600 m/min; width of treatment 1-2m) for the surface treatment of various materials (papers, fibres, plastics, textiles). The objectives are to obtain better products (adhesion, wettability, inkability, etc.), to improve process outcome, consume less energy and harmful chemicals, reduce contamination on the final products and environmental burden, reduce waste to dispose. The consortium is composed of 12 partners from 6 European nationalities. 6 research centres (3 are specialised in Plasma, 1 in paper, 1 in composite fibres, 1 in material sterilisation) and 6 industrials (1 manufacturer of plasma equipments, 1 paper producer, 1 glass fibre producer, 3 textile manufacturers).
