More than 99% of all visible matter in the universe occurs as highly ionized gas plasma with high energy content. Electrical low- and atmospheric-pressure plasmas are characterized by continuous source of moderate quantities of energy or enthalpy transferred predominantly as kinetic energy of electrons. Therefore, such energetically unbalanced plasmas have low gas temperature but produce sufficient energy for inelastic collisions with atoms and molecules in the gas phase, thus producing reactive species and photons, which are able to initiate all types of polymerizations or activate any surface of low reactive polymers. However, the broadly distributed energies in the plasma exceed partially the binding energies in polymers, thus initiating very often unselective reactions and polymer degradation. The intention of this book is to present new plasma processes and new plasma reactions of high selectivity and high yield. This book aims to bridge classical and plasma chemistry, particularly focusing on polymer chemistry in the bulk and on the surface under plasma exposure. The stability of surface functionalization and the qualitative and quantitative measurement of functional groups at polymer surface are featured prominently, and chemical pathways for suppressing the undesirable side effects of plasma exposure are proposed and illustrated with numerous examples. Special attention is paid to the smooth transition from inanimate polymer surfaces to modified bioactive polymer surfaces. A wide range of techniques, plasma types and applications are demonstrated.

Preface
Some 40 years experience with plasmas applied to polymers and the special view of a polymer chemist are the motivation for writing this book. The rapid growth of applications of plasma processes on an industrial scale is connected with the pioneering work of engineers. Basic research into plasmas and their properties is associated with plasma and astrophysics. Pure plasmas of noble gases under well-defined conditions in exactly determined geometries are traditional objects of plasma physics. Thus, chemical processes are out of view. However, in such simple systems the chemistry of irradiation and release of degradation products also play an important role, as do the polymer surface, near-surface layers, plasma boundary layer, and plasma bulk. Organic and polymer chemistry often dominate the use of molecular plasmas for polymer surface treatment and modification. A much more complicated and complex situation is found for plasma polymerization processes, which can often be described only by formal kinetics as the elementary and chemical processes are not known in exact detail. Electrical low- and atmospheric-pressure plasmas are characterized by a surplus in energy and enthalpy needed for simple chemical processes. The chemistry of excess energy allows endothermic reactions to be performed because the dose rate exceeds all necessary enthalpies of reaction pathways known in chemistry or even in radiation chemistry. Thus, random, statistic, and exotic processes dominate and, therefore, the reaction products are most often chemically irregular in terms of structure and composition. Additionally, the polymer products are unstable because of plasma-produced metastable radicals that are trapped in the polymer bulk and which subsequently remain capable of undergoing oxidation on exposure to oxygen from air. Therefore, the plasma product is unstable and changes continuously during storage. A nice example may illustrate such a “terrible” plasma. At the beginning of my work, in the early 1970s, I had scraped plasma polymers from the wall of the plasma reactor for infrared analysis. The plasma polymer flakes were collected, cooled with liquid nitrogen, and then ground for production of polymer powder. This powder was disseminated in KBr powder, which is necessary for KBr disk preparation. After evaporation of nitrogen the sample begun to smolder and became black. The technical assistant was stunned and did not want to continue his work with other samples. The behavior of the sample was, in fact, due to the fast reaction of radicals that came into contact with oxygen from the air after the plasma polymer layer was disintegrated. Peroxide formation and undefined auto-oxidation were initiated.
Organic chemists or polymer chemists turn away from such “black box chemistry,” labeling it as impure chemistry, far from regular chemistry, that does not follow a defined chemical mechanism. Thus, the pure chemist is shocked and all his knowledge is superfluous. If a polymer chemist must accept that chemically inert gases, such as methane or benzene, can be polymerized or polymers exposed to plasmas are destroyed, degraded, etched, and so on, any previous thinking, any knowledge, is of no help.
The task of this book is to bring together physicists, engineers, chemists, and polymer researchers, looking preferentially from the chemical and especially from the polymer chemical point of view into plasma processes and the reactions in the polymer body. Here, a new type of plasma chemist, who treats and produces polymers, is created or, better, a plasma polymer chemist is born.
Forty years of experience with plasma and polymer chemistry, analysis, and polymer degradation have been concentrated in this book. It discusses important findings in this field from all parts of the world.
