Abstract
Material treatment is effected in a treatment region by at least two energy sources, such as (i) an atmospheric pressure plasma and (ii) an ultraviolet laser directed into the plasma and optionally onto the material being treated. Precursor materials may be dispensed before, and finishing material may be dispensed after treatment. Electrodes for generating the plasma may comprise two spaced-apart rollers. Nip rollers adjacent the electrode rollers define a semi-airtight cavity, and may have a metallic outer layer.
