With the advances in science and engineering in the second part of the 20th century,
emerging plasma-based technologies continuously find increasing applications in the …

Since the 1980s, functionalized plasma polymer films have attracted a considerable
attention owing to their promising utilization in a wide range of modern applications. For …

Plasma polymers are unconventional organic thin films which only partially share the
properties traditionally attributed to polymeric materials. For instance, they do not consist of …

In recent years, increasing evidence has been collated on the contributions of fungal
species, particularly Candida, to medical device infections. Fungal species can form biofilms …

Atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are proving to have great
potential in the bioengineering and medical field for functionalisation of biomaterials. The …

Plasma polymers are micro-, or more commonly, nano-sized coatings that can be deposited
on a variety of substrates through different approaches. The versatility of these polymers is …

The deposition of functional plasma polymers such as a‐C: H: O films is mainly influenced
by fragmentation of the parent molecules in the gas phase as well as by the energetic …

This review focuses on low‐pressure plasma modification methods to produce hydrophobic
coatings and surface modifications on biomaterials. Plasma‐deposited fluoropolymer …

This work studies the influence of the proportional change in discharge power and the
monomer feed on the morphology and the chemistry of atmospheric plasma deposited films …

In the plasma polymerization literature, there has been an interest since at least the 1970s to
correlate the structure of plasma polymer (PP) deposits with plasma parameters during …
