In situ preparation of biomimetic thin films and their surface-shielding effect for organisms in high vacuum.

Self-standing biocompatible films have yet to be prepared by physical or chemical vapor deposition assisted by plasma polymerization because gaseous monomers have thus far been used to create only polymer membranes. Using a nongaseous monomer, we previously found a simple fabrication method for a fr...
