Preliminary scope of work in English
Plasma polymerization has been known for many decades as an effective tool for gas-phase fabrication of thin films. The properties of plasma polymers (chemical composition, mechanical, optical, biological properties etc) can be tuned in a wide range. It has been also recognized that structuring of plasma polymers at nano-scale level opens up the possibilities to create new materials with advanced functionality. Possible applications of these materials include catalysis, sorption, gas and bio-sensing, optics, biomedicine and many others.
The research will be focused on the development of novel methods for nano-structuring of plasma polymers. Attention will be paid to the proper choice of substrate/plasma polymer combination as well as to other experimental parameters to allow for the formation of two-dimensional nano-patterns (islands, dendrites etc) of plasma polymers. Also, pre-seeding of substrates with size-controlled nano-particles produced by a gas aggregation cluster source will be combined with plasma polymerization to fabricate porous (including meso-porous) coatings with tailored nano-architecture. Kinetics of the film formation will be studied by analyzing the surface statistics obtained by methods of scanning probe microscopy.
