“…It must be pointed out that, because of experimental limitations, the values used in this study covered the low flow rate region only, corresponding to the polymerization rate which is 'limited only by the avail- ability of monomer supply'. 33 In any case, the trend observed here is expected to be similar at high F values as well.…”

Plasma polymerization of several selected saturated and unsaturated silicon‐ and tin‐containing monomers, such as vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES), 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS), hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS), hexabutyldistannoxane (HBDS) and tetraethylstannane (TES), were examined in terms of the following selected plasma operational parameters: discharge time (t), flow rate of monomer (F) and power input (W). For the initial deposition rates (DR), the following empirical equation was proposed: DR = k ta Fb Wc, from which the experimental values of the kinetic power factors (a,b,c and k) were calculated. The value of k calculated for VTES was the highest, indicating the high activity of the monomer in plasma in contrast to HBDS, which was about two orders of magnitude smaller. A modified Arrehnius equation was employed in the form of yield of deposition (DR/F) versus the specific energy (W/F), which showed that silicon‐containing monomers are more active than their organotin analogues in the chosen plasma conditions. Plasma polymers of HMDS, TES and HBDS prepared at low conversions were highly crosslinked and their structures were similar to those of crosslinked poly(dialkylsiloxane) or poly(organostannoxane) while those of VTES and APTS were primarily linear.

“…The present section will not deal in any great detail with plasma deposition methodology: Several excellent review articles [15][16][17] and monographs [7,18,19] have already done so in the past, while other chapters in this book (particularly N. Morosoff, 'Overview of Plasma Polymerization") provide an updated account of the subject. Instead, we will briefly restate the underlying principles, distinguishing between * 'internal'' plasma parameters and "external'' variables by which the experimentalist can influence the outcome of a given experimental procedure.…”

“…The mean free path between active species is significant at low pressure, thus, uniform deposition throughout the reactor system can be obtained. Low pressure also increases the glow discharge size rising plasma interaction with the substrate [18][19][20].…”

“…The rise in flow rate also increases system pressure. Thus, effects associated with high pressure are also dominated by high flow rate as nonuniformity of deposited polymer surface [18][19][20].…”

Inspired by nature, tunable wettability has attracted a lot of attention in both academia and industry. Various methods of polymer surface tailoring have been studied to control the changes in wetting behavior. Polymers with a precisely controlled wetting behavior in a specific environment are blessed with a wealth of opportunities and potential applications exploitable in biomaterial engineering. Controlled wetting behavior can be obtained by combining surface chemistry and morphology. Plasma assisted polymer surface modification technique has played a significant part to control surface chemistry and morphology, thus improving the surface wetting properties of polymers in many applications. This review focuses on plasma polymerization and investigations regarding surface chemistry, surface wettability and coating kinetics, as well as coating stability. We begin with a brief overview of plasma polymerization; this includes growth mechanisms of plasma polymerization and influence of plasma parameters. Next, surface wettability and theoretical background structures and chemistry of superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces are discussed. In this review, a summary is made of recent work on tunable wettability by tailoring surface chemistry with physical appearance (i.e. substrate texture). The formation of smart polymer coatings, which adjust their surface wettability according to outside environment, including, pH, light, electric field and temperature, is also discussed. Finally, the applications of tunable wettability and pH responsiveness of polymer coatings in real life are addressed. This review should be of interest to plasma surface science communality particularly focused controlled wettability of smart polymer surfaces.
