“…According to Emmert's model, the bias voltage is divided between voltage drop in the sheath and the voltage drop in the insulator, the latter related to built-up of surface charge. As long as the surface charge is allowed to be compensated, either by letting the high-voltage sheath sufficiently collapse, or by forced voltage reversal, insulator treatment is possible and can indeed be effective, as previously mentioned when considering polymer surface modification for biomedical applications [124,125,167].…”

“…DLC films are of special interest to numerus biomedial applications, because the material is carbon-based, chemically inert, and the wettability can be changed by ion and plasma methods. For example, PBIID-modified DLC showed changes in bacteria repellence [167]. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is also considered for use in blood contacting devices [168].…”

“…Plasma immersion ion implantation has been applied to surface treat poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) [153] to successfully improve the antibacterial properties with specific regard to Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. This has been further evidenced with Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis on plasma-treated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) [150,155], E. coli on plasma-treated polyurethane (PU) [152] and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on plasma-treated) PVC [151]. All of which showed a reduction in the adhesion of bacteria to the respective surfaces.…”

“…From research such as this, it is possible to foresee that plasma-based technologies could potentially be used for polymeric biomaterials in order to improve upon their bioactivity for use in biological environments. Plasma surface treatments have also been extensively used in the production of surfaces to control and investigate bacterial adhesion on numerous material types [148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155]. Plasma immersion ion implantation has been applied to surface treat poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) [153] to successfully improve the antibacterial properties with specific regard to Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.…”

“…It is widely used, for instance, in the production of synthetic fibres, containers of beverage, food and various liquids, machine parts in the mechanical industry, components for precision engineering and medical implant devices, etc. Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII or PI 3 , called also plasma-based ion implantation) and its deposition variant have been applied to improve the surface barrier, [1 -3] hydrophobic, [4] electrical [5] and bacterial repellence [6,7] properties of PET.…”
