TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of the use of low pressure discharges for sterilization and decontamination is demonstrated and discussed using examples of bacterial spore sterilization, depyrogenation of bacterial endotoxins, as well as the elimination of protein films.

TL;DR: The role of chemical sputtering corresponding to the synergism between ion bombardment of a surface with the simultaneous reaction of active species such as O, O2 or H is demonstrated and it is shown that plasma processes can be efficient against different micro-organisms, bacteria and fungi, pyrogens, model proteins and prions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanisms of sterilization and decontamination of surfaces are compared in direct and post discharge plasma treatments in two low-pressure reactors, microwave and inductively coupled plasma.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pressure of argon as working gas at a constant distance of 5 cm between a PTFE target and a substrate was studied, and it was shown that both the chemistry, and the roughness of the surface changed with the Ar pressure during sputtering.

TL;DR: The developed coating can be built on various classes of substrates and preserves its antifouling properties even in undiluted blood plasma and might be used for fabrication of biotechnological and biomedical devices with tailor-made functions that will not be impaired by fouling from ambient biological media.
