Abstract
Plasma polymerization refers to the formation of polymeric materials by using either the plasma state of monomers, or reactive species created in the plasma state. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, consisting largely of ionized gas which maintains overall electrical neutrality. The plasma used in the formation of polymeric materials is the so-called ‘low temperature plasma’ or ‘low pressure plasma’, in which thermal equilibrium is not maintained among electrons, ions and neutral species. The kinetic energy (kT) of electrons, expressed in the electron temperature, is in the vicinity of 60000K, while corresponding values for ions and neutral species are often in the range of 300–500K.
