48th workshop of the atmospheric pressure plasma user group (ak-adp)

Technologies usually have a strong application focus and are favored for specific applications. Atmospheric plasmas stand for special surface functionalization and have established themselves, for example, in the field of ultra-fine cleaning, adhesion improvement, disinfection and nano-coating. By combining technologies, their range of applications can be significantly expanded. Examples of the combination of atmospheric plasmas with other technologies will be presented and discussed at the 48th ak-adp workshop. The thematic focus of the presentations will include cleaning and joining processes, applications of AD plasmas for sterilization, disinfection and broad antimicrobial effects, gas barrier coatings, new approaches to thin-film PV production and plasma-assisted surface pretreatment of die-cast aluminium components.

In addition to the technological topics, the ak-adp will once again address the topic of "Atmospheric pressure plasma and AI - a symbiosis for the future!", picking up on the lively discussion at the 43rd ak-adp workshop in April 2023. Another highlight of the workshop is the continuation of the #ZukunftADP competition. Following the 2021 and 2023 calls for entries, the organizers are excited to see what creative, innovative and novel ideas will be submitted. In addition to the presentation and awarding of prizes for the best new competition ideas, there will also be an outlook on the implementation of the ideas from 2021 and 2023. The complete lecture and discussion program and further information on the event as well as a personal contact including online registration can be found on the website. The workshop will take place at the Hotel Chemnitzer Hof in the center of Chemnitz. In addition to the lectures and discussions, all participants are invited to an evening event and the established regulars' table with various opportunities for information exchange and networking.
