This review aims to provide a summary of some of the challenges in correlating surface
science and biology, with particular emphasis on areas where plasma polymerization has …

The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive
advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and …

The aim of this review is to describe how biomaterial engineering processes, particularly in
the field of polymer modifications for enhanced blood-compatibility, can take advantage of …

This book presents an overview of nanostructure determination and ways to find
relationships to the electronic and optical properties. The methods described can be applied …

SiOxCyHz films are deposited by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor
deposition (PECVD) using a mixture of HMDSO and oxygen as source gases. The gas …

Plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane (PPHMDSO) thin films have been obtained in a
DC glow discharge from the monomer vapor. Such films are widely used as protective …

To control material-associated bacterial infections, understanding the underlying
mechanisms of bacteria and surface interactions is essential. Here we focused on studying …

Nano‐scale textures of transparent and ultra water‐repellent thin films are prepared by
microwave plasma CVD (Figure) using trimethylmethoxysilane. Water‐repellency of films …

Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of SiOx coatings on thermoplastics provides a
viable route for production of transparent composite materials with high fracture toughness …

Hexamethildisiloxane-oxygen fed radiofrequency discharges have been studied under high
power density and 0.05÷ 0.1 torr pressure, ie, experimental conditions of high monomer …
