Abstract

AbstractUsing the fluorescence method, the study quantifies the cleaning efficiency of flat surfaces of selected materials (steel, polymethyl methacrylate, glass) compared to the usual cleaning methods: cleaning using ultrasound and cleaning using solutions (ethanol/isopropyl alcohol – isopropanol). Cleaning using ethanol/isopropanol solutions was carried out in such a way as to simulate common procedures: rubbing, rinsing and a combination of application of the solution and ultrasound. Based on the prepared and evaluated (following the average at several places on the surface) values of fluorescence maps of material surfaces, the resulting values of fluorescence before/after cleaning or at the selected moment of degreasing/cleaning of surfaces (applies to steel) were determined. The application of diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge plasma discharge to the surfaces of flat materials can provide: a reduction in the environmental burden (no chemicals are needed to clean the surfaces) and an improvement in the efficiency of surface cleaning in industrial/manufacturing conditions (plasma cleaning usually takes a few seconds). diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge plasma can clean and simultaneously activate the surfaces of flat materials.
