1. A plasma applicator consisting of:
a first substrate layer, a second substrate layer, and an adhesive layer,
wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are comprised of a fibrous base layer and a metallic surface layer,
wherein the adhesive layer binds the fibrous base layer of the first substrate layer to the fibrous base layer of the second substrate layer,
wherein the metallic surface layer of the first substrate layer and the metallic surface layer of the second substrate are exposed and configured to be placed in conductive contact with a high voltage source to generate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)-based plasma comprising at least one of volume plasma and surface plasma upon exposure to the high voltage source, and
wherein the high voltage source is configured to apply an alternating current (AC) input with a frequency of about 1 kHz to about 10 kHz to the plasma applicator and a peak-to-peak voltage (Vp-p) ranging from about ±0.5 kV to about ±5 kV.
