Abstract
In the project, two types of atmospheric plasma systems were installed to TUT pilot line for processing of roll-ro-roll materials (Plasma A & Plasma B) Various line speeds, parameters and treatment combinations were tested for adhesion improvement. In addition, treatment of several R2R substrates was demonstrated, including paperboard & plastic films. Compared to traditional surface treatment methods like corona, atmospheric DBD (dielectric barrier discharge) plasma processes offer new possibilities for R2R surface modification at ambient pressure. Enhanced adhesion properties by both plasma activation and plasma surface grafting were observed. Plasma activation with Plasma A lead to higher adhesion values than with conventional corona treatment. The highest adhesion values were obtained with the combination of Plasma A and Plasma S.-) A as result, the coating weight of PLA could be reduced in the target application by using plasma pre-treatments. This is because, in contrast to corona, adequate adhesion level can be achieved even with lower coating weights.

Novis Senior Research Grant (NG). We would like here to thank and remember Vito Pistoia (1949? 2018). Vito was a brilliant witness of a lucky period of the italian renaissance, which blessed the italian medical research in the Seventies. After his M.D. graduation, he started a career in Genova, where a significant number of scientists? wit?h an? internation?al background were o?pe?rating. The sy?ne?rgies amon?g the groups? of Benvenuto Pernis, Ruggero Ceppellini, Carlo Grossi, Manlio Ferrarini, Soldano Ferrone, and the Moretta group were the ground of ?his ?basi?c ?education in science. This was completed by a period in Alabama at the school of Max Cooper. B lymphocyte area became the first area of his interests. Lately he became Director of the Oncology Lab at the Gaslini Institute (Genova, Italy), a further source of synergies with the groups of Lorenzo and Alessandro Moretta. His Lab became reference for studies of cancer microenvironment, seen as potential regulator (positively and negatively) of the immune responses. From the above interests stemmed his interest on the analysis of the events taki?ng p?lace? in the bone? marrow and in human? m?ultiple myelom?a,? the focus? of intense ?interest by basic and clinical scientists. His skills, experience in science, and personal enthusiasm was the starting point of the ?comm?on e?ff?ort behind this Special Issue. His scientific personality was also enriched and completed by non-common personal qualities. His positive approach to life, his refined humor, and a smiling face (mirroring internal equilibrium and peace) were his master characteristics. Unfortunately, Vito passed away before the completion of this Special Issue. For this, it is our honor and a pleasure for us to dedicate the Issue in his name and memory.
