[3][4][5][6] The application of two or even three magnetrons in the same aggregation chamber [7,8] enabled the production of heterogeneous NPs. In spite of the huge number of studies that dealt with the gas phase preparation of metal NPs and their applications, [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] little concern has been raised with regard to the processes occurring inside the aggregation chamber.…”

In‐situ UV–Vis spectroscopy was used for investigating the evolution of silver nanoparticles (NPs) inside the gas aggregation cluster source (GAS). The light beam probed the interior of the GAS at different distances from the magnetron. Plasmon resonance was detected at 365 nm, with the highest intensity found close to the magnetron due to the NP trapping. Time‐resolved measurements revealed that after the discharge switch off the majority of trapped NPs fly out of the GAS. Part of them is redeposited onto the center of the target due to the electrostatic force. NPs collected at the distance of 20 mm and further from the magnetron demonstrate gradual decrease of the size, pointing to the loss of bigger NPs on the walls.

A gas-phase deposition process based on the combination of nanoparticles (NPs) and thin films is developed to obtain either superhydrophobic or superamphiphilic nanocomposite coatings on filtration membranes. Superhydrophobic membranes are produced on nonwoven viscose fabric and they demonstrate selective absorption of nonpolar organic solvents from oil/water mixtures. Superamphiphilic membranes are produced on carbon cloth and found suitable for smart separation of light oil or heavy oil from water, with the efficiency above 99.97%. Incorporation of Cu NPs endow both types of the membranes with antibacterial properties. A twofold reduction in the metabolic activity of Escherichia coli is achieved after 24 hr of the incubation, which proves this environmentally friendly approach to be perspective for the development of multifunctional porous K E Y W O R D S antibacterial properties, nanocomposite coatings, oil/water separation, selective absorption, superhydrophobicity, underwater superoleophobicity Plasma Process Polym. 2019;16:e1900003 www.plasma-polymers.com

“…In analogy to “conventional” magnetron sputtering, magnetron-based GAS systems were initially employed generally for the production of various metallic (e.g., Ag [69,70,71], Cu [72,73], Al [74], Ti [75,76,77], Co [78,79], Pt [80,81], Nb [82], Pd [83], W [84], Ni [85], Ru [86]) and metal-oxide NPs [87,88]. However, our group recently showed that GAS systems may also be easily adapted for the production of plasma polymer NPs if the polymeric target is sputtered in the RF mode [89,90,91,92,93].…”

Magnetron sputtering is a well-known technique that is commonly used for the deposition of thin compact films. However, as was shown in the 1990s, when sputtering is performed at pressures high enough to trigger volume nucleation/condensation of the supersaturated vapor generated by the magnetron, various kinds of nanoparticles may also be produced. This finding gave rise to the rapid development of magnetron-based gas aggregation sources. Such systems were successfully used for the production of single material nanoparticles from metals, metal oxides, and plasma polymers. In addition, the growing interest in multi-component heterogeneous nanoparticles has led to the design of novel systems for the gas-phase synthesis of such nanomaterials, including metal/plasma polymer nanoparticles. In this featured article, we briefly summarized the principles of the basis of gas-phase nanoparticles production and highlighted recent progress made in the field of the fabrication of multi-component nanoparticles. We then introduced a gas aggregation source of plasma polymer nanoparticles that utilized radio frequency magnetron sputtering of a polymeric target with an emphasis on the key features of this kind of source. Finally, we presented and discussed three strategies suitable for the generation of metal/plasma polymer multi-core@shell or core-satellite nanoparticles: the use of composite targets, a multi-magnetron approach, and in-flight coating of plasma polymer nanoparticles by metal.
