Plasma polymer films (PPFs) are well-known for their enhanced stability compared to
conventional polymer coatings. However, PPFs tend to undergo aging in air or in aqueous …

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 …

Polymer materials are widely employed in many fields due to the ease with which they can
be formed into complex shapes, their versatile mechanical properties, light weight, and low …

Activation reactions of molecules in plasma are investigated using plasma polymerization of
hexamethyldisiloxane as a model system for plasma‐state polymerization. Underlying …

In a low‐temperature plasma, the electrons pick up energy from the electric field in collisions
with atoms and molecules, gaining high kinetic energy that must be sufficient for ionizing …

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

Although polymerized aniline (polyaniline, PANI) with and without iodine (I2) doping has
already been extensively studied, little work has been done on the synthesis of PANI films …

The presented study compares the structure of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and
hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSN) plasma polymer thin films with a thickness of about 30 nm …

For at least forty years, there has been an interest to correlate the structure of plasma
polymer coatings with fabrication parameters during deposition, most particularly with the …

Atmospheric‐pressure dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) in argon with admixtures of small
amounts of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) have been analysed by means of numerical …
