Plasma polymerization is a rapidly growing part of materials science. Applications have been found in many fields and nowadays the interest turned especially into biomedical area. In order to push forward plasma polymerization as a part of material science in Europe a group of scientists about 5 years ago launched a COST Action 527 “Plasma Polymers and Related Materials” that gathered 48 projects from 15 European countries. Within this Action the work was performed in four working groups: A-Basic issues of plasma polymerization, B-Characterization of plasma polymers and surface modification, C-Deposition of plasma polymer films, D-Hard coatings and composites.
