摘要

Focusing on its capacity to produce hydrophobic and antimicrobial characteristics, this review delves into the possibilities of plasma treatment to improve the functions of cardboard. To understand how these effects are achieved, we explore the underlying processes. Our procedures include etching away hydrophilic groups, cross-linking to make the surface denser, and depositing other hydrophobic groups. On the other hand, achieving antimicrobial qualities requires physically or chemically inactivating bacteria, altering surfaces to decrease water access and enhance roughness, and depositing antimicrobial chemicals such as biocides or metal nanoparticles. This article highlights the possible uses of plasma-treated cardboard in various sectors, including food packaging, healthcare supplies, and building materials. Nevertheless, we are aware of the present constraints caused by challenges with compatibility, cost, and scalability, as well as environmental considerations. To further improve and broaden the use of plasma treatment for cardboard modification, we talk about potential avenues for future study. Sustainable plasma sources and green gas alternatives are part of this, as are selected treatment methods, bio-based coatings for added synergy, and other related topics. If we learn about its inner workings, uses, and limits, we can realize plasma technology's full potential to make cardboard a high-performance material with many uses.
