In this paper, we propose dual microwave-excited atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (DME-APPJs) that can be generated with a single power source. A T-junction power divider that evenly distributes the input power to two ports is used, and two coaxial transmission line resonators are used as plasma generators for the DME-APPJs. The power divider distributes the incoming power in port 1 and supplies 46% of this power to port 2 and port 3, respectively. Surface treatments are conducted by exposing the multiple plasma jets to polypropylene (PP) specimens and then confirming the degree of hydrophilic change. Using the proposed DME-APPJs, it is possible to perform surface treatments on areas that are up to 50% larger compared to using two single ME-APPJs with the same power consumption. The DME-APPJs thus show more advanced performance for surface treatments by comparison with the single ME-APPJ.
