  Polymerization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form three-dimensional networks or polymer chains
Addition polymerization is involved in the manufacture of polymers such as polyethene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Polymerization dates back to the beginning of DNA based life, as both DNA and proteins can be considered polymers.

Plasma activation is the alteration of surface characteristics by the substitution of chemical groups or moieties for groups normally present on the polymer chain being modified.
The choice of equipment used for plasma polymerization and deposition is thus dictated by both the rate of deposition desired, the film properties that can be obtained by the various systems and practical considerations such as the size of the parts to be treated and processing rates that are feasible in any given system.

 Background
Plasma polymerization process is usually carried out in one of the two types of reactors: Bell-jar type reactor with internal parallel plate metal electrodes and b) Tubular-type reactor with external ring electrodes or an external coil for the r.f.
The deposition rate of a plasma polymer is determined by the following parameters: the geometry of the system, the reactivity of the starting monomer, its flow rate, the working gas pressure, the power, and frequency of the excitation, signal, and finally, by the temperature of the substrate.
However, better understanding of the plasma polymerization process especially how deposition (mainly plasma) parameters influence the resulting properties of plasma polymers and their time and temperature stability (aging) is needed.

 Gas Plasma   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Plasma polymerization creates new and unusual polymer properties that have only begun to be explored in biomedical applications.
Plasma is an increasingly appreciated alternative to other processes, since it is capable to modify the outermost layer (sometimes as thin as few Angstroms) of the substrate material, and even to grow on the surfaces totally new materials with customized characteristics, without sacrificing the desirable properties of the bulk material.
Plasma has been used to enhance or decrease the wetting (typically measured by a decrease or an increase of the contact angle of various liquids including water) on a large variety of substrates.

Polymerization of two isomeric heterocyclic monomers, 3-methyl-1-vinylpyrazole and 1-allylimidazole, was investigated under pulsed plasma conditions.
