This study focuses on the polymerization of poly (ethylene glycol) methylether methacrylate (PEGMA) on LDPE films via atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma (APNTP) to enrich their biocompatibility. The influence of the discharge potential and the deposition time on the changes in surface propertie...
