Methods for plasma depositing polymers comprising cyclic siloxanes and related articles and compositions are generally provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise flowing a precursor gas in proximity to a substrate within a PECVD reactor, wherein the precursor gas comprises an initiator and at least one monomer comprising a cyclic siloxane and at least two vinyl groups, and depositing a polymer formed from the at least one monomer on the substrate.
