Description In short study below we report effects of ambient air atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of polycarbonate surface. Atmospheric plasma treatment was done by two different plasma sources. First was special type of dielectric barrier discharge called Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD). Second one was glide arc like plasma APC 500. We report significant changes in surface free energy, water contact angle and hysteresis calculated from dynamic contact angle (advancing, receding).
