Abstract

Abstract : Front Cover: The cold plasma‐based inner‐surface decontamination is of particular relevance to biofouling of pipelines, both industrial and clinical. A helium porous plasma jet based on gas diffuser was designed, with the aim of decontaminating inner surfaces of relevant contaminated structures. The porous plasma jet operates with discharge modes in ambient air and inside vessels. Its decontamination capacity is demonstrated by inactivation efficacy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm as a well characterised biofilm model. Further details can be found in the article by Peng Lu, Dana Ziuzina, Patrick J. Cullen, and Paula Bourke (e1800055 ).
