“…Examples devised in the past include; epoxide-, [20] anhydride-, [22] carboxylic acid-, [23] cyano-, [24] hydroxyl-, [25] furfuryl-, [26] amine-, [27] pyridine-, [28] thiol-, [29] perfluoroalkyl-, [30] perfluoromethylene-, [31] and trifluoromethyl- [32] functionalized surfaces. Although previous attempts have been made to plasma-deposit aldehyde groups from precursors such as acrolein, [33][34][35] acetaldehyde, [36] or benzaldehyde, [37] they have all suffered from poor aldehyde group incorporation due to either extensive fragmentation of the monomer or the absence of a polymerizable carboncarbon double bond.…”
