“…Afterwards, the first applications using these plasma polymers were reported by Goodman [ 10 ], and subsequent studies on the property improvements of materials using plasma polymers were actively conducted, with a focus on the interaction between plasma and various substances [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Today, plasma synthesis is selected for various applications, such as layer deposition for electrical devices [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], antibio- or bio-material applications [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], and surface modification [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], among others.…”

“…Such APP can be obtained under atmospheric pressure conditions, avoiding extreme handling conditions [ 43 ]. For these reasons, polymer synthesis methods using APP have attracted growing attention in recent years, owing to their high potential for polymer deposition and nanoparticle (NP) synthesis for various applications [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Accordingly, attempts to generate plasma under atmospheric pressure have been successful, and various structures of plasma devices have been proposed [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ].…”

A Review of Plasma Synthesis Methods for Polymer Films and Nanoparticles under Atmospheric Pressure Conditions

In this paper, we present an overview of recent approaches in the gas/aerosol-through-plasma (GATP) and liquid plasma methods for synthesizing polymer films and nanoparticles (NPs) using an atmospheric-pressure plasma (APP) technique. We hope to aid students and researchers starting out in the polymerization field by compiling the most commonly utilized simple plasma synthesis methods, so that they can readily select a method that best suits their needs. Although APP methods are widely employed for polymer synthesis, and there are many related papers for specific applications, reviews that provide comprehensive coverage of the variations of APP methods for polymer synthesis are rarely reported. We introduce and compile over 50 recent papers on various APP polymerization methods that allow us to discuss the existing challenges and future direction of GATP and solution plasma methods under ambient air conditions for large-area and mass nanoparticle production.

“…For many years, material surface modification using plasma has been widely used for cleaning adsorbed contaminants. Recently, this technique has also been extensively applied for other purposes such as etching, activation, and crosslinking [15,16], as well as for surface modification of polymers [17][18][19]. In the current study, we used plasma modification because it is simple, reproducible, and easy to implement in the same plasma reactor that we used for PPF deposition.…”

Sensitivity Enhancement in Plasma Polymer Films for Surface Acoustic Wave Based Sensor Applications

et al. 2021

Plasma polymer films (PPF), widely used as sensing layers in surface acoustic wave (SAW) based gas and liquid phase sensors, have a major drawback: high concentrations of the sensed analytes easily drive these films into saturation, where accurate measurements are no longer possible. This work suggests a solution to this problem by modifying the PPF with the sensed chemical compound to improve the overall sorption properties and sensor dynamic range. Thin polymer films were synthesized from hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and triethylsilane (TES) monomers in a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process using a RF plasma reactor. We used these Si-containing compounds because they are known for their excellent sensing properties. In this work, the layers were deposited onto the active surface of high-Q 438 MHz Rayleigh SAW two-port resonators, used as mass sensitive sensor elements. We call these devices quartz surface microbalances (QSM). In a second step, ammonia plasma modification was applied to the HMDSO and TES films, in order to achieve a higher sensitivity to NH3. The sensors were probed at different NH3 gas concentrations in a computer controlled gas probing setup. A comparison with unmodified films revealed a 74% to 85% improvement in both the sensitivity and sorption ability of the HMDSO sensing layers, and of about 8% for the TES films.

Over the last few decades, advanced manufacturing and additive printing technologies have made incredible inroads into the fields of engineering, transportation, and healthcare. Among additive manufacturing technologies, 3D printing is gradually emerging as a powerful technique owing to a combination of attractive features, such as fast prototyping, fabrication of complex designs/structures, minimization of waste generation, and easy mass customization. Of late, 4D printing has also been initiated, which is the sophisticated version of the 3D printing. It has an extra advantageous feature: retaining shape memory and being able to provide instructions to the printed parts on how to move or adapt under some environmental conditions, such as, water, wind, light, temperature, or other environmental stimuli. This advanced printing utilizes the response of smart manufactured materials, which offer the capability of changing shapes postproduction over application of any forms of energy. The potential application of 4D printing in the biomedical field is huge. Here, the technology could be applied to tissue engineering, medicine, and configuration of smart biomedical devices. Various characteristics of next generation additive printings, namely 3D and 4D printings, and their use in enhancing the manufacturing domain, their development, and some of the applications have been discussed. Special materials with piezoelectric properties and shape-changing characteristics have also been discussed in comparison with conventional material options for additive printing.
