            Abstract : 
Microplasma proved to be an efficient and economical solution for a series of applications such as NOx removal, indoor air treatment, sterilization of bacteria or surface treatment of polymers1. Moreover among nonthermal plasma technologies microplasma has advantages due to its small size of reactor and power supply. Our microplasma is a dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure.
