Surface activation or cleaning by cold plasma treatment is getting more and more attention. Current plasma based solutions have mostly fixed electrodes, which are only suited for planar surfaces. Scientists at the HAWK developed a plasma device with flexible electrodes, which allow treatment of irregular surfaces.

Surface activation or cleaning by cold plasma is getting more and more attention. Current plasma-based solutions for flexible materials however lack efficiency or are technically too complex and error-prone. Scientists at the HAWK developed a plasma roller device for effective and fast plasma treatment of flexible materials.

The LICE-ERASER kills the head-lice and their nits reliably and without any side effects. To use, the LICE-ERASER has to be moved through the hair like a hair-brush. The LICE-ERASER produces a cold plasma generated between the comb tooths, which kills the head-lice and their nits. This procedure is completely free of pain, the user will not feel anything.

Scientists at the HAWK in Göttingen, Germany developed a new plasma device for chemical-free cleaning and sanitizing of textiles or clothes. In addition, odors can also be greatly reduced or eliminated. The device consists of two rollers coated with a flexible dielectric material, which serve as electrodes for plasma treatment.

Scientists at the HAWK in Göttingen, Germany developed a new brush-like plasma device for chemical-free treatment of the scalp to promote hair growth. The small device is easy to handle and can significantly enhance microcirculation as well as oxygen saturation, which are key parameters for stimulating hair growth.
