The highly reactive processing environments afforded by the inherently dynamic nature of plasma media are often superior to ambient or thermal environments, offering substantial advantages over other processing methods. The fluxes of energy and matter toward the surface enable rapid and efficient processing, whereas the charged nature of plasma-generated particles provides a means for their control. The range of materials that can be treated by plasmas is incredibly broad, spanning pure polymers, polymer-metal, polymer-wood, polymer-nanocarbon composites, and others. In this review, we briefly outline some of the recent examples of the state-of-the-art in the plasma-based polymer treatment and functionalization techniques.This research was founded in part by the National Research Foundation of Ukraine, under the grant agreement No. 2020.02/0119; by the National Research Foundation, Singapore, and by MoE AcRF, Singapore; by the Australian Research Council; and by the Australian National University (Futures scheme)application/pdfen-AU© 2021 The authorshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/polymersplasmapolymer functionalization202110.3390/molecules261340912022-07-24Creative Commons Attribution licence
