Abstract

AbstractIn this study, plasma modification was carried out in barrier discharge under atmospheric pressure. Sulfur dioxide and/or sodium oxide was used as the coating precursor. The results show that the films treated with a mixture of argon and sulfur dioxide inhibited microbial growth considerably better than those with coatings containing argon and sodium oxide. The highest levels of growth inhibition, of 86% for Staphylococcus aureus and 82% for Escherichia coli, were achieved with films carrying a sulfur‐containing coating (1.4% SO2).
