  text: In the current work, we study the silver ion release potential and the water
    uptake through a SiOxCyHz-polymer which is grown from the precursor hexamethyldisiloxane
    (HMDSO) in radiofrequency (RF) plasma. These layers were deposited on top of two
    dimensional (2D) ensembles of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with nominal thickness
    of 2 nm on a 20 nm RF-sputtered polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thin film. The
    composition of the plasma-polymerized HMDSO barriers was varied by changing the
    oxygen flow during the polymerization process and their thickness was varied as
    well. Morphology and optical properties of the nanocomposites were investigated
    using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis),
    respectively. The concentration of the silver ions released from the nanocomposites
    after immersion in water for several time intervals was measured using inductively
    coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Contact angle analysis and electrochemical
    impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were also performed and results show
    a strong dependence of the coatings properties and their water uptake on the oxygen
    content in the coating films and their thickness. Plasma polymerization with increasing
    the oxygen flow leads to the formation of more hydrophilic thin films with a higher
    Ag ion release potential. Increasing the thickness of the coatings reduced the
    amount of the released ions and the rate of the release process was slowed down.
    This indicates that by tailoring the structure and the thickness of the plasma-polymerized
    coating films, one can tune the silver ion release properties of Ag/polymer nanocomposites.
