Plasma surface functionalization of diamond like carbon (DLC) with nitrogen functional groups is achieved. The image shows the nitrogen XPS spectrum, indicating the surface incorporation of amines and aging effects, and the changes in the surface topography after the nitrogen-containing plasma treatment.

Luminescent nanocomposites containing Rhodamine 6G laser dye molecules are deposited by remote microwave plasma polymerization. The picture shows micrometric patterns generated by plasma etching using a shadow mask. The nanometric thin films are also intensely absorbent. More details can be found in:

This picture presents a SEM image of the nanofibres prepared by plasma deposition, another image by TEM to show the internal structure of the fibres and a pictorical scheme to show the importance of the inhomogeneities of the electrical field of the plasma sheath in the formation of the fibres. More details can be found in:
