“…To explore the possible biomedical applications of nanoparticles by plasma polymerization we have synthesized nanoparticles from different biocompatible precursors. We have previously reported the synthesis of films of pyrrole (Py), pyrrole‐ co ‐ poly(ethylene glycol), and hexamethyldisiloxane . In this work we present the preparation of nanoparticles of plasma polymerized poly(ethylene glycol) (ppPEG), plasma copolymerized PEG and Py (pp(PEG‐ co ‐Py)), and plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane (ppHMDS).…”

Nanoparticles can be produced by plasma polymerization from different precursors at low or atmospheric pressure. The polymers produced by plasma polymerization are not chemically regular as conventional polymers; they are complex and rich in functional groups. The variety of chemical groups is due to the fragmentation of the precursor as well as other gases present during the reaction. The concentration of these groups on the nanoparticle surface can be tuned by changing plasma polymerization variables. In this work we demonstrate the preparation of nanoparticles by plasma polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol), poly(ethylene glycol) copolymerized with pyrrole, and hexamethyldisiloxane. Nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy.
