Introduction
Cold plasma is a partially ionized gas that contains ions, electrons, ultraviolet photons, and reactive neutrals such radicals, excited molecules, and ground-state molecules. A variety of industries, such as plastics and polymers, textiles, electronics, food and agriculture, and medicine all have a lot of potential for cold plasma technology.
It has several significant advantages over its competitors, including being environmentally friendly. Cold plasma's advantages are projected to ensure its widespread popularity in the coming years, particularly in the current regulatory environment, where the emphasis on sustainable procedures has strengthened. Nonetheless, the high capital needs and limited commercialization of cold plasma technologies are projected to impede market growth.
