Abstract

In this paper, the effects of a non-thermal plasma treatment (plasma needle) on the surface property wettability of various materials are described. Additionally, the adhesion and growth of bacterial populations of Escherichia coli and Streptococcus mutans on plasma-treated substrates are studied. It is found that plasma treatment increases the wettability of substrates, promotes growth of E. coli and inhibits growth of S. mutans.
