Abstract
In this paper, we present an overview of recent approaches in the gas/aerosol-through-plasma (GATP) and liquid plasma methods for synthesizing polymer films and nanoparticles (NPs) using an atmospheric-pressure plasma (APP) technique. We hope to aid students and researchers starting out in the polymerization field by compiling the most commonly utilized simple plasma synthesis methods, so that they can readily select a method that best suits their needs. Although APP methods are widely employed for polymer synthesis, and there are many related papers for specific applications, reviews that provide comprehensive coverage of the variations of APP methods for polymer synthesis are rarely reported. We introduce and compile over 50 recent papers on various APP polymerization methods that allow us to discuss the existing challenges and future direction of GATP and solution plasma methods under ambient air conditions for large-area and mass nanoparticle production.

Summary
Many of the papers and studies on polymer synthesis using the atmospheric-pressure plasma (APP) method have focused on specific application processes. Bondt et al on polymer synthesis using electrical discharge [1] is seen as one of the first documented studies on plasma polymerization. Afterwards, the first applications using these plasma polymers were reported by Goodman [10], and subsequent studies on the property improvements of materials using plasma polymers were actively conducted, with a focus on the interaction between plasma and various substances [11,12,13,14,15,16]. Plasma synthesis is selected for various applications, such as layer deposition for electrical devices [17,18,19,20], antibio- or bio-material applications [21,22,23,24], and surface modification [25,26,27,28], among others
