Fundamentals of Plasma-Polymer Interactions bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering a comprehensive overview of the complex interaction between plasma and polymers. The book begins by discussing radiation generation, damage mechanisms in polymers, and molecular-level interactions to establish a fundamental understanding of plasma-polymer interactions. It then thoroughly describes radiation processing techniques, plasma polymerization mechanisms, and practical examples illustrating how plasma irradiation affects polymer properties, synthesis methods, and physical characteristics. The book's chapters also explore the diverse applications of plasma polymers across industries and provide insights into future research directions, challenges, emerging trends, and scale up processes to industrial applications. By offering a comprehensive review of plasma-enhanced processing and modification of polymers, the book serves as an ideal entry point for researchers engaged in interdisciplinary studies and as a guide for professionals interested in the utilization of plasma-processed polymers in various industries.
