45th Workshop of the Atmospheric Pressure Plasma User Group

Adhesion optimization is a constantly recurring topic and quality criterion in many branches of industry. Plasmas - energetically excited gases - can help here quickly, cost-effectively and in an environmentally friendly manner. Surface functionalization with atmospheric-pressure plasma by means of ultra-fine cleaning, activation or even nanocoating can replace chemical and vacuum processes or even enable completely new functionalities and material combinations. Thus, atmospheric plasmas are an innovative way to more ecological sustainability, quality assurance and increase the economic efficiency of production processes. At the workshop, current work from research and industry will be presented and put up for discussion. Thematic focuses will be on the fundamentals of the plasma process such as flow analysis, the comparison of ADP technology with other possibilities of OF functionalization, environmentally relevant process optimization, plasma as an add-on for the optimization of typical industrial processes, implementation of DIN standards by means of ADP technology, new application examples of different plasma systems and adhesion determination.

The concluding ak-adp-talk offers further opportunities for information and discussion on questions such as how best to characterize the adhesion between a surface and the composite partner, what role do the right analytics and process data play in effective process automation, or atmospheric pressure plasma and artificial intelligence - a pipe dream or the future? Under the focus "Measurement + AI for Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Technologies = Innovative and Sustainable Production Processes for a Secure Future", speakers and other experts and experts from industry and research will be taking part in the discussion. The complete lecture and discussion program and further information on the event as well as a personal contact can be found at www.ak-adp.de including an online registration. An evening event and the established Stammtisch (regulars' table) will be offered in their proven form.
