Discharge mode conversion of bending flexible electrodes

Abstract Printed flexible electrodes have attracted widespread attention due to the low-cost process, large-area printing and resource saving. The performances of a flexible electrode in different applications is studied by researchers. In this paper, the characteristics of a flexible electrode with different bending angles are experimentally studied. Electrical, optical and productions characteristics are illustrated to demonstrate the performance of dielectric barrier discharge with a flexible electrode. Furthermore, the electrical fields are studied to explain the transfer of discharge mode and the corresponding discharge products.
