e inactivation e ect of the combination of nonthermal plasma and hydrogen peroxide aerosol for the microbial decontamination of inner surface of cylindrical container buckets is studied on one bacterial and seven lamentous micromycete species and on airborne-contaminated cups. While the decontamination by single nonthermal plasma or hydrogen peroxide is not observable after 120 s, the strong decontamination by their combination occurs after 30 s of exposure. Moreover, observed total elimination of airborne contamination of plastic cups predetermines this method as a suitable alternative to the currently used method based on the application of hydrogen peroxide.

Polyvinyl butyral is a material that is widely used in the manufacture of laminated glass sheets. Polyvinyl butyral film is widely used as an intermediate layer for laminated automotive or architectural glass. The intermediate layer primarily ensures the safety function of the laminated glass. Other advantages of laminated glass with a polyvinyl butyral interlayer include that it can be adapted to perform other functions, including acoustic functions, anti-reflection functions or functions enabling information to be projected on the glass with this interlayer. In this work, the influence of further processing of polyvinyl butyral film with non-uniform thickness is studied. Further processing may have a negative impact to the profile of PVB material.

Over the next few years, LEDs are likely to be responsible for all of the vehicle's exterior lighting functions. Everything is focused on maximum security. For this reason, there are more and more automatic color detection systems in the car. Proper color separation is the key to optimal operation and proper evaluation of these automatic systems. An example is the correct detection of traffic light colors. The automotive industry is dependent on consistency and predictability. Classification is an important function for automated control and requires the correct color resolution of the signals captured by the cameras. We propose to use glass containing various colored active substances such as Eu 2 O 3 , Tb 2 O 3 and Sm 2 O 3 as color filters for LED diodes. LED source from one visible light area to another visible light area. This study is devoted to the production of photoactive glass. Subsequently, the photosensitivity of molten photoactive glasses is tested. Both the absorption and excitation spectra of selected photosensitive glasses are measured.

The subject of this experimental analysis is the comparison of polyurethane adhesives with regard to the improvement of quality and acceleration of production, which is associated with financial savings. The study was inspired by the real conditions of car window production. A moisture-cured one-component polyurethane adhesive is used as standard. Due to the risk of delamination of the glass, the use of heatcured adhesives is excluded. In addition to the moisture-curing adhesive, a one-component polyurethane adhesive with a curing accelerator and a two-component polyurethane adhesive were tested. To compare the properties, the curing time and the force required to tear the bracket from the glass were assessed using a pull off test. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the two-component adhesive has the greatest potential, both in terms of curing speed, but also the mixing ratio satisfactory in real production. Ideally, it would be desirable to modify the hardness of the adhesive to make it more suitable for that application. However, the potential for financial savings is great in this type of production.
