SHAPE CONFORMING FLEXIBLE DIELECTRIC BARRIER DISCHARGE PLASMA GENERATORS

摘要

Exemplary embodiments of shape conforming dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma generators are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment includes a flexible pad and a plurality of electrodes located in the pad within close proximity of each other, and a flexible dielectric barrier surrounding the plurality of electrodes and separating the plurality of electrodes from each other. Wherein when a high voltage pulse is applied to one or more of the plurality of electrodes, plasma is produced between a surface of the flexible pad and a portion of the body in close proximity to the flexible pad.
