摘要:
Generation and stabilization of glow plasma by discharge under atmospheric pressure are monitored by detection of the number of electric current pulses per one-half cycle of an alternating voltage applied to a discharge device. Alternately, or in addition, a Lissajous figure is generated showing a correlation between the applied alternating voltage and a current flow in the discharge device, and a discharge state is discriminated according to the Lissajous figure. Accurate, quick and simple monitoring of atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasma and the control thereof are thus made possible.

摘要:
A plastic tube extruded from an extruder is conveyed through a plasma treatment apparatus. The plasma treatment apparatus is equipped with a tubular electrode body having a high-voltage side electrode and a grounded-side electrode disposed on a tubular insulator and a high frequency electric power source connected to the electrodes. When the plastic tube is conveyed through the electrode body with one end of the tube open to the atmosphere, a mixture of a glow discharge-stabilizing gas and a treating gas is fed into the other end of the tube and an alternating-current high-voltage is applied to generate a plasma region at a pressure near to atmospheric pressure in which the tube is treated with a glow discharge plasma. This method allows an interior and/or exterior surface of a plastic tube designed to convey a medical fluid to be continuously treated by a glow discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure to form an anti-thrombotic and blood-compatible film on the surface treated. The resulting surface-treated medical material can be produced at a comparatively low cost and maintains its original bulk material properties.
