plasma polymerization

Plasma polymerization is a process that uses energized charged particles—called plasma—to create thin, durable coatings on surfaces. In this method, a gas containing the desired building blocks is turned into plasma by applying electrical energy. The plasma causes the molecules to break apart and then recombine as a continuous, strong film on the target material. This technique allows precise control over coating properties like adhesion, chemical resistance, and surface functionality, making it useful in industries such as electronics, healthcare, and coatings. Essentially, plasma polymerization builds a customized, protective layer using an energized, ionized environment.
