(A) Scheme of modification of the parylene C surface via oxygen plasma treatment, (B) model of the parylene C surface decorated with −OH groups used in MD simulations (the whole simulation box is shown in the Supporting Information, Figure S1), and (C) representative fragments of decorated parylene C surfaces showing interaction of various surface groups with water molecules. Gray shadowing based on isovalues of water density illustrates the hydrophilic properties of the parylene C surfaces.
