“…In this work, low-pressure plasma polymerization was employed to functionalize ZnO, ZrO 2 , and Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles in a homemade plasma reactor described previously . Plasma polymerization has already been efficiently used for the modification of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, and nanofibers. − The dry, eco-friendly approach combined with the ability to deposit polymer films of organic compounds with controllable thickness has rendered plasma polymerization a remarkable method to improve surface properties and reactivity. ,,, Thanks to its potential to produce highly cross-linked and pinhole-free films on almost any kind of substrate, plasma polymerization has replaced “wet” chemical techniques, and it has contributed drastically to fields such as microelectronics, composites, and bioapplications. − …”
