Atmospheric plasma deposition of bioinspired catechol-rich polymers: a promising route for the simple construction of redox-active thin films

Abstract

The atmospheric aerosol assisted plasma polymerization of 4-vinyl-catechol allows the facile deposition of robust redox active catechol-rich films with promising properties as organic cathode materials for lithium ion battery.

Adhesive Films from Dopamine‐Functionalized Polydimethylsiloxane Polymer Conetworks

“…Preliminary studies demonstrated that atmospheric pressure plasmas with a low electron energy enabled a fast deposition (60 s) of the polydopamine with the same physical and chemical characteristics of polydopamine. [ 46,47 ]…”

“…Preliminary studies demonstrated that atmospheric pressure plasmas with a low electron energy enabled a fast deposition (60 s) of the polydopamine with the same physical and chemical characteristics of polydopamine. [46,47] In this respect, the glass substrates were treated beforehand with atmospheric plasma from the dopamine solution at the same concentration as for the dip coating process. The conditions applied for the deposition of the dopamine are detailed in the SI.…”
