“…Likewise, a thin liquid layer of an allyl ether-substituted six-membered cyclic carbonate (A6CC) was spin-coated on a substrate and transferred to an AP plasma with air to study plasma-induced free radical polymerization [68]. The plasma deposition of functional thin films with pendent cyclic carbonates was enabled, for instance, to exploit their high reactivity toward primary amines for sensing and biotechnological applications.…”

Manmade soft materials are important in a wide range of technological applications and play a key role in the development of future technologies, mainly at the interface of synthetic and biological components. They include gels and hydrogels, elastomers, structural and packaging materials, micro and nanoparticles as well as biological materials. Soft materials can be distinguished from liquids owing to their defined shape and from hard materials by the deformability of their shape. This review article provides an overview of recent progress on the plasma engineering and processing of softer materials, especially in the area of synthesis, surface modification, etching, and deposition. The article aims to demonstrate the extensive range of plasma surface engineering as used to form, modify, and coat soft materials focusing on material properties and potential applications. In general, the plasma provides highly energetic, non-equilibrium conditions at material surfaces requiring to adjust the conditions for plasma-surface interaction to account for the specifics of soft matter, which holds independent of the used plasma source. Plasma-induced crosslinking and polymerization of liquids is discussed to transform them into gel-like materials as well as to modify the surface region of viscous liquids. A major field covers the plasma surface engineering of manmade soft materials with the help of gaseous reactive species yielding ablation, nanostructuring, functionalization, crosslinking, stiffening, and/or deposition to obtain demanded surface properties or adhesion to dissimilar materials. Finally, plasma engineering of rigid materials is considered to induce surface softening for the enhanced contact with tissues, to allow interaction in aqueous media, and to support bonding to soft matter. The potential and future perspectives of plasma engineering will be discussed in this review to contribute to a higher knowledge of plasma interaction with sensitive materials such as soft matter.

“…Then, this reaction propagates on the substrate to gradually form and grow polymer films (see Figure 18b). As an example, plasma-induced polymerization from a liquid phase precursor (allyl-substituted cyclic carbonate, A6CC) can drive the synthesis of films bearing functional pendant cyclic carbonates [299] . In addition, the plasma-induced deposition path can be activated at atmospheric pressure; for example, when the plasma treats a layer of liquid monomer (silsesquioxane) covering a porous substrate.…”

This comprehensive review begins by tracing the historical development and progress of cold plasma technology as an innovative approach to polymer engineering. The study emphasizes the versatility of cold plasma derived from a variety of sources including low-pressure glow discharges (e.g., radiofrequency capacitively coupled plasmas) and atmospheric pressure plasmas (e.g., dielectric barrier devices, piezoelectric plasmas). It critically examines key operational parameters such as reduced electric field, pressure, discharge type, gas type and flow rate, substrate temperature, gap, and how these variables affect the properties of the synthesized or modified polymers. This review also discusses the application of cold plasma in polymer surface modification, underscoring how changes in surface properties (e.g., wettability, adhesion, biocompatibility) can be achieved by controlling various surface processes (etching, roughening, crosslinking, functionalization, crystallinity). A detailed examination of Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) reveals its efficacy in producing thin polymeric films from an array of precursors. Yasuda’s models, Rapid Step-Growth Polymerization (RSGP) and Competitive Ablation Polymerization (CAP), are explained as fundamental mechanisms underpinning plasma-assisted deposition and polymerization processes. Then, the wide array of applications of cold plasma technology is explored, from the biomedical field, where it is used in creating smart drug delivery systems and biodegradable polymer implants, to its role in enhancing the performance of membrane-based filtration systems crucial for water purification, gas separation, and energy production. It investigates the potential for improving the properties of bioplastics and the exciting prospects for developing self-healing materials using this technology.

In this work, a styrene (ST)–acrylate emulsion was synthesized via glow discharge electrolysis (GDE) plasma technique. A possible forming mechanism was proposed. Moreover, the adhesion property of the emulsion was evaluated for the conservation of simulated disrupting murals. The results showed that under optimum conditions, the solid content, emulsion conversion, and gel rate are 29.0%, 85.6%, and 1.04%, respectively. The obtained ST–acrylate emulsion is spherical in shape, with a particle size of about 100 nm. The property of ST–acrylate emulsion prepared by GDE is superior to that of the commercial ST–acrylate emulsion for the conservation of simulated disrupting murals. Compared with other methods, GDE has the advantages of simple steps, controllable reaction, environmental friendliness, no chemical initiator, and no N2 atmosphere.
