Front Cover : An effective strategy has been developed to enhance the stability of oxazoline‐based plasma coatings produced by a non‐thermal atmospheric plasma jet. Surface characterization results demonstrate that the stability of plasma polymerized 2‐methyl‐2‐oxazoline coatings in aqueous solutions improved substantially when the polymerization process was performed at a substrate temperature between 50 °C and 120 °C. As a result, the coatings were capable of reducing the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis by 80%. Further details can be found in the article by Sameer A. Al‐Bataineh, Alex A. Cavallaro, Andrew Michelmore, et al.( 1900104 ).
