Plasma polymerisation apparatus is disclosed including a reaction zone and at least one gas inlet for supplying at least one monomer in a gaseous form to the reaction zone, a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart and configured to generate an electric field in the reaction zone to form plasma polymer nanoparticulate material from the at least one monomer, a plurality of collectors configured to collect plasma-polymer nanoparticulate material formed in the reaction zone, the plurality of collectors being located adjacent the second electrode, and a cooling device located adjacent the second electrode and configured to cool the plurality of collectors. Also disclosed is plasma polymerisation apparatus that includes a confinement grid extending between a first electrode and a second electrode of the apparatus.
Plasma polymerisation apparatus comprising:
The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the cooling device is coupled to a rear surface of the plurality of collectors.
The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the plurality of collectors comprises a plurality of vials or wells.
The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the plurality of collectors is removable from the reaction zone.
The apparatus of any of the preceding claims wherein the cooling device is coupled to a heat exchanger.
The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims comprising a confinement grid for confining the electric field in the reaction zone.
The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims further comprising a controller to control the formation of the plasma-polymer nanoparticulate material in the reaction zone.
The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims wherein the second electrode comprises a recess in which (a) the plurality of collectors is at least partially received;
The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the reaction zone, first electrode, second electrode, plurality of collectors and cooling device are located in a reaction chamber.
