Plasma‐activated water (PAW) was investigated as a “green” antimicrobial washing agent
for decontamination of ready‐to‐eat rocket salads. PAW was generated using a dielectric …

We present an alternative route to enhance antibacterial activity of polymer matrix
nanocomposites that incorporate biocidal nanomaterials, using open-air atmospheric …

The design of advanced materials with superb anti-bacterial efficiency by engineering
appropriate surface properties has now become a consolidated strategy to improve the …

We studied the epoxy polymer surface modification using air plasma treatment in a Gliding
Arc (GA) plasma reactor and a pulsed Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD). We employed …

We present the concept of the combined synthesis of organic–inorganic nanocomposite
