| Abstract Scope |
Plasma polymerization is a process in which organic plasma species can assemble into diverse substrates, commonly rendering the deposition of functional thin films. That phenomenon can be exploited to modify surfaces in a direct and technologically simple process. Several scientific interests arise from plasma polymerization, with the most commons being the understanding of phenomena in the plasma phase and of the properties of the polymer films. The latter can be additionally tailored by chemical post-functionalization, multi-layers or co-polymerization. Apart from those thematics, one that is underexplored is the nucleation and growth process of those plasma polymers. That commonly comprises spontaneous formation of nanostructures at early stages of the deposition process. Understanding the latter open ups for significant technological and scientific breakthroughs on processing and applications of plasma polymers. The most relevant aspects of formation and applications of plasma polymers thin films and nanostructures are explored in this work. |
