Abstract:
1. A method of forming a plasma to physicochemically modify properties of a fluid spray in a substrate treatment processes, the method comprising: providing a substrate to be treated; providing an applicator in proximity to the substrate, the applicator comprising: grounding the tube, the nozzle or the substrate; supplying the tube with the first fluid; supplying the region with the second fluid; and activating the electric-field generator to form the plasma to physicochemically modify properties of the first fluid, the second fluid or the fluid spray, wherein the plasma is formed within or about the region between the tube and the generator when the tube is grounded, wherein the plasma is formed within the nozzle when the nozzle is grounded, wherein the plasma is formed between the nozzle and the substrate when the substrate is grounded.
