IP4 Plasma

IP4 Plasma: Industrial innovations in atmospheric pressure plasma technology

EU FP7 project: CORDIS (IP4PLA)

Fraunhofer IST (IP4 Plasma project partner; former ip4plasma.eu project site)

Industrial innovations based on EU intellectual property assets in the field of atmospheric pressure plasma technology.

In the IP4Plasma project, atmospheric pressure plasma equipment manufacturers and end-users work with leading experts in research and technology innovation to overcome barriers to commercial application of a unique intellectual property right (IPR) portfolio.

The aim is to bring cutting-edge IPR-protected innovations from the laboratory scale to industrial implementation for advanced surface treatment of materials, by demonstrating suitability for existing and new industrial applications in medical products and the diagnostics sector.
