Glass industries are investing significant resources in intensive R&D programmes to develop new ways to use glass, to make available new products, to enhance recyclability and effective recycling, etc. Over the course of centuries, glass has grown in importance - and this will remain a trend in the future. Even though the methods of producing glass have not changed for many years, completely new challenges have to be overcome today in the production processes: On the one hand, constant increases in productivity and glass quality are demanded. It is in this context that Multiver, a Canadian-based company, is in demand for smart glass products to meet consumer needs for the 21st century. These needs are closely aligned with G. Laroche and L. Stafford researches on the development of an atmospheric plasma based process for the production of anti-fog and self-cleaning glass materials. This process presents the great advantage of allowing to modulate the interaction of water with surfaces while being scalable to meet the industrial requirements for mass production. Accordingly, the objectives of the current research project will be to develop anti-fog and self-cleaning smart glass materials through dielectric barrier discharge atmospheric plasmas with focus made on gas carriers, gas precursors, and plasma experimental parameters.

玻璃行业正在投入大量资源进行密集的研发计划，以开发使用玻璃的新方法，生产新产品，提高可回收性和有效回收等。尽管玻璃的生产方法多年来一直没有改变，但如今在生产过程中必须克服全新的挑战：一方面，要求不断提高生产率和玻璃质量。 正是在这种背景下，总部位于美国的Multiver公司对智能玻璃产品的需求，以满足消费者对21世纪世纪的需求。这些需求与G。Laroche和L.斯塔福德研究开发一种基于大气等离子体的工艺，用于生产防雾和自清洁玻璃材料。该方法具有允许调节水与表面的相互作用的巨大优势，同时可扩展以满足大规模生产的工业要求。 因此，目前的研究项目的目标将是通过介质阻挡放电大气等离子体开发防雾和自清洁智能玻璃材料，重点是气体载体，气体前体和等离子体实验参数。
