Plasma-induced graft polymerization

Collagen immobilization onto a silicone rubber surface which underwent plasma-induced graft polymerization of PHEMA was also reported to have improved attachment and growth of corneal epithelial cells onto the rubber surface [48,50,182].

Fire-retardant treatment Hammability of acrylic textiles can be reduced by using (meth)acrylates containing phosphorus monomers known to be effective as flame-retardant compounds (Price et al., 2002). Tsafack et al. (2004) smdied the plasma-grafted thin layer of phosphorus polymer by plasma-induced graft-polymerization. The formation of a characteristic protective char layer during the burning test was observed for the treated compounds whereas the untreated ones burned without residuals (Tsafack et al., 2004).

MWCNTs were modified by grafting with PS using plasma polymerization of styrene mraiomer [166]. The modified MWCNTs were characterized by FTIR, dispersion test, TEM, SEM, and Raman analysis. TEM images of unmodified and modified MWCNTs are shown in Fig. 15. After plasma-induced grafting polymerization, the MWCNTs had a less-tangled organization, which demonstrated that the grafted styrene molecule efficiently promoted dispersal of the MWCNTs. 

Thin composite films are formed by simultaneous polymerization of compounds during the vacuum evaporation of metals. Modifications have been reported using different modes of preparation and introducing nanoparticles. One version includes simultaneous evaporation of a monomer and metal from different sources, while another relies on the combination of plasma polymerization and metal evaporation." Plasma-induced graft polymerization of traditional monomers (e.g., vinylim-idazole on a capron film) " was carried out during metal evaporation. The plasma polymerization of organometallic compoimds is of special interest." For example, plasma-induced polymerization of diethylberyllimn is remarkable for the simplicity of the equipment required. "...

PET surface may also be modified by plasma-induced graft polymerization of acrylic acid [18]. The exposure of the film under oxygen plasma leads to the formation of peroxide and hydroperoxide groups (Fig. 3). The modified surface contains a host of such polar functionalities and initiates the grafting of acrylic acid by...
