Cold atmospheric pressure plasma jets are designed to operate in open air. This paper demonstrates the impact of open-air processing on the composition and properties of PEO-like coatings by APPD with vinyl ether precursors. The open-air environment inhibits polymerization as indicated by low deposition rates, oxygen incorporation in the coatings, and instability of the coatings in water. The composition and stability of the coatings improve by appropriate nozzle design and by deposition in an environment with lower air content. The resulting PEO-like coatings are stable and antifouling for an antibody solution and inhibit adhesion of human fibroblast cells.","PeriodicalId":20135,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Processes and Polymers","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140301408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we used disodium terephthalate (NaTA) as the molecular probe; the experimental results with a theoretical analysis suggest that to obtain the correct OH<sub>aq</sub> concentration, the concentration of the molecular probe should be greater than a certain value, which depends on the types of the plasma–liquid systems.

Thirty percent thicker chlorination layers are observed with Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/He ALE than with Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/Ar ALE in the chlorination step. The penetration depth of He ions is twice that of Ar ions, with a standard deviation of 4.5 times greater.

Chia oil enables the deposition of thin, covalently bonded hydrophobic polymer layers. Such coatings have diverse applications especially inside the paper industry, where water repellents in the form of internal and surface sizing have always been an essential functionalization step.

Employing magnetron sputtering and cathodic cage plasma nitriding (CCPN), a duplex plasma treatment (DPT) is introduced to the NiCr alloy. The novel approach enhances surface morphology, notably reducing ion leakage compared with untreated samples. Specifically, the CCPN-TiN-treated sample significantly improves corrosion resistance and minimizes metal ion leakage. This transformative DPT emerges as a promising solution for surface modification, particularly mitigating toxic ion leaching in aggressive electrolytes. This research demonstrates a major stride in enhancing NiCr alloy biocompatibility, emphasizing the vital role of innovative surface modification techniques for biomedical applications and challenges.","PeriodicalId":20135,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Processes and Polymers","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139926234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
