I wish to submit the revised article for publication in Coatings, titled “Atmospheric-pressure air plasma jet for modification of thermally sensitive surfaces.” The revised and added parts in the manuscript were underlined.
Reviewer 2 Report
Atmospheric pressure plasma jet operating with air is described in the manuscript. The striated discharge patterns are optically and numerically analyzed.
The manuscript is well structured and interesting to the reader. It appears to be a continuation of the previous work on atmospheric pressure nitrogen plasma jets by the author.
I suggest minor improvements as follows:
- The abstract is missing “mechanism of striation explained”, maybe include in the last sentence
- Line 19, maybe include an additional reference for “material modifications”, I suggest Resnik, M., Kovač, J., Štukelj, R., Kralj-Iglič, V., Humpolíček, P., & Junkar, I. (2020). Extracellular vesicle isolation yields increased by low-temperature gaseous plasma treatment of polypropylene tubes. Polymers, 12(10), 2363.
- Line 44 and 45 – power supplier, Figure 1 – power supply, consider unifying, in my opinion, power supply is more common
- Line 69 and 71 – the Ohm symbol is not the same size
- Line 107 and 119 – LPM is used while in the rest of the manuscript SLM is used, in my opinion, units should be unified to SLM (more common in plasma physics)

Reviewer 3 Report
- The title says "Atmospheric pressure air plasma jet for modification of thermally sensitive surfaces." But the content is nothing about APPJ treatment on thermally sensitive materials. The title is misleading.
- What kind of air was used? Was it dried? Was it purified?
- Because the author claims APPJ for thermally sensitive materials treatment. The temperature data should be presented. For instance, working temperature should be measured as a function of distance from the jet. Or at least, the IR thermography should be presented.
- At what location was the optical emission spectra measured?
- N2 first positive system is missing. Why?
