Densification of functional plasma polymers by momentum transfer during film growth
TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of oxygen and nitrogen-containing functional groups depends on the fragmentation in the gas phase as well as on the densification during film growth, while a minimum energy per deposited carbon atom is required for cross-linking.
Densification and Hydration of HMDSO Plasma Polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the energetic conditions in the gas phase as well as at the surface on the densification/cross-linking of the hydrophobic films was studied.

TL;DR: Ageing studies indicate that, in particular, for very thin gradient structures, the cross-linked subsurface zone effectively hinders reorientation of the surface functional groups, thus restricting hydrophobic recovery and oxidation effects.

Response of Plasma-Polymerized Hexamethyldisiloxane Films to Aqueous Environments.

TL;DR: Thin plasma polymer films were deposited in hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and HMDSO/O2 low-pressure discharges and their chemical structures analyzed using infrared (IR) spectroscopy and neutron reflectometry (NR) to indicate oxidative aging reactions upon contact with air.

Plasma‐Substrate Interaction during Plasma Deposition on Polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the initial stage of film growth during plasma deposition on polymers determines many film properties such as morphology and structure, interphase formation and adhesion, and the plasma-substrate interaction is investigated regarding the energy density during film growth.
