Controlled biodegradation of metallic biomaterials by plasma polymer coatings using hexamethyldisiloxane and allylamine monomers

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition is a promising process for the generation of tailor-made polymer coatings on medical devices in order to improve their implant/ host interaction. The ultra-thin coatings can fulfil a variety of purposes, depending on the monomers used, the process conditions...
