The invention relates to a system for coating at least a portion of an interior wall surface of a container, comprising:(a) a container comprising an open end, a second end opposite the open end, and a wall extending therebetween, the wall having an exterior wall surface and an interior wall surface, the container having a chamber within an area defined by the interior wall surface between the open end and the second end of the container;(b) a monomer gas supply source for supplying at least one monomer gas;(c) a gas inlet duct positioned at the open end of the container and having a portion extending into a portion of the chamber for supplying at least one monomer gas received from the monomer gas supply source into the chamber;(d) a photolysis energy source for providing photons to at least a portion of the monomer gas supplied to the chamber of the container to form a reactive gas comprising at least one reactive moiety from the monomer gas; and(e) an outlet duct positioned at the open end of the container or the second end of the container for removing excess reactive gas from the chamber.
