Abstract

This review presents recent advancements in cold atmospheric pressure (AP) plasma (CAP) processes for the synthesis and surface treatment of polymer films and metal nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedical applications. We discuss the properties and applications of atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) processes, including dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and plasma jet methods, highlighting their effectiveness in controlling surface characteristics such as wettability and functionalization.

Keywords: cold atmospheric pressure (CAP); atmospheric pressure plasma (APP); dielectric barrier discharge (DBD); plasma jet; polymer film; metal nanoparticles (NPs); plasma synthesis; plasma surface treatment
