Outside Front Cover: Plasma Process. Polym. 7/2023

Outside Front Cover: Continuous wave plasma polymerization of glycidol can directly immobilize amine containing anti-fungal biomolecules on substrates such as biomedical devices. This is facilitated by the abundance of epoxide groups on such plasma polymers to undergo ring-opening reaction. Even without an additional layer of pulsed wave glycidol plasma polymer. Thus, reducing the time taken to functionalize devices with anti-fungal properties while maintaining an active shelf-life of 2 years.
