Front Cover: When using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet for material treatment, its design plays a crucial role in the treatment efficiency. An improvement of the surface wettability and an increase of oxygen incorporation on the surface is observed when applying an argon atmospheric pressure plasma jet system with a modified geometric design. Computational fluid dynamic simulations reveal the gas distribution and the creation of an argon “channel”. The latter guides the plasma propagation in the surrounding air. Further details can be found in the article by I. Onyshchenko et al. on 1600200 .
