“…In addition to the early works mentioned above, we note also the work of Favia [54], and Milella for modulated plasmas exploring the mechanisms to deposit ribbon-like or bumpy fluorocarbon layers [55], as reviewed also by the same author later on [56]. Vacuum deposition of superhydrophobic coatings was also reviewed by Cigala et al [57], and Kylian et al [18]. One of the advantages of plasma deposition is that it can be used at atmospheric pressures as well.…”

“…Already, a few reviews have appeared on plasma technology for super-anti-wetting surfaces. Vourdas et al [16], and Gogolides et al [17] reviewed the work on plasma nanotexturing of polymers for superhydrophobicity and antireflectivity, Kylian et al reviewed nanostructured, lowpressure, plasma deposited polymers [18], while Jafari et al reviewed the plasma technology for superhydrophobicity [19].…”

“…Surface properties such as roughness, morphology, charge, chemical composition, surface energy and wettability all influence the interactions of the biomaterial with biological compounds [2]. These surface properties can be modified by a variety of methods, which include, but are not restricted to, plasma [3] or laser treatment [4], ion implantation [5] and nanoparticle grafting [6]. Each method offers a unique way of surface modulation with its own pros and cons, which are reviewed in detail in this manuscript.…”

While polymers are widely utilized materials in the biomedical industry, they are rarely used in an unmodified state. Some kind of a surface treatment is often necessary to achieve properties suitable for specific applications. There are multiple methods of surface treatment, each with their own pros and cons, such as plasma and laser treatment, UV lamp modification, etching, grafting, metallization, ion sputtering and others. An appropriate treatment can change the physico-chemical properties of the surface of a polymer in a way that makes it attractive for a variety of biological compounds, or, on the contrary, makes the polymer exhibit antibacterial or cytotoxic properties, thus making the polymer usable in a variety of biomedical applications. This review examines four popular methods of polymer surface modification: laser treatment, ion implantation, plasma treatment and nanoparticle grafting. Surface treatment-induced changes of the physico-chemical properties, morphology, chemical composition and biocompatibility of a variety of polymer substrates are studied. Relevant biological methods are used to determine the influence of various surface treatments and grafting processes on the biocompatibility of the new surfaces—mammalian cell adhesion and proliferation is studied as well as other potential applications of the surface-treated polymer substrates in the biomedical industry.

“…Furthermore, nanostructured plasma polymers can be obtained by controlling the film growth conditions, which attracted high interest over the last years [4,5]. Many nanostructures, however, occur at rather mild plasma deposition conditions resulting in easily damageable structures such as used for superhydrophobic surfaces [6].…”
