“…Among the different surface modification approaches, non-thermal plasma surface activation has increasingly earned, in the last few decades, a high-flying position in several application fields [1][2][3][4][5]. On the one hand, the acquired supremacy of plasma treatments over other surface modification techniques is due to their versatility, simplicity, time efficiency, non-invasive character restricted to a modification depth of a few nanometers and solvent-free aspect [2,6,7]. On the other hand, numerous studies have redundantly demonstrated the plasma aptitude to successfully enhance or optimize, amongst others, the surface wettability, bio-and cyto-compatibility, printability, barrier properties, optical absorbance, bonding characteristics and adhesiveness of polymers [4,5,[8][9][10][11][12].…”
