Abstract
The effectiveness of polypropylene (PP) mesh is often compromised by severe inflammation. Engineering anti-inflammatory coatings has significant implications for PP mesh to repair unwanted hernias. Here, we presented a facile strategy to develop an anti-fouling coating consisting of zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine methacrylate) (PCBMA), which could prohibit protein adsorption to endow PP mesh with anti-inflammatory efficacy. The incorporation of PCBMA coating had little impact on the raw features of PP mesh. While the modified mesh PCBMA-PP possessed noticeable hydrophilicity increase and surface charge reduction. The excellent lubricity and surface stability enabled PCBMA-PP to exhibit superior anti-fouling capacity, thus efficiently inhibiting the adsorption of proteins. In vivo experiments showed that incorporating the PCBMA layer could provide PP meshes with outstanding anti-inflammatory effects and tissue compatibility for repairing hernias.

Abstract
Recent advancements in bioengineering and medical devices have been greatly influenced and dominated by synthetic polymers, particularly polyurethanes (PUs). PUs offer customizable mechanical properties and long-term stability, but their inherent hydrophobic nature poses challenges in practically biological application processes, such as interface high friction, strong protein adsorption, and thrombosis. To address these issues, surface modifications of PUs for generating functionally hydrophilic layers have received widespread attention, but the durability of generated surface functionality is poor due to irreversible mechanical wear or biodegradation. As a result, numerous researchers have investigated bulk modification techniques to incorporate zwitterionic polymers or groups onto the main or side chains of PUs, thereby improving their hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. This comprehensive review presents an extensive overview of notable zwitterionic PUs (ZPUs), including those based on phosphorylcholine, sulfobetaine, and carboxybetaine. The review explores their wide range of biomedical applications, from blood-contacting devices to antibacterial coatings, fouling-resistant marine coatings, separation membranes, lubricated surfaces, and shape memory and self-healing materials. Lastly, the review summarizes the challenges and future prospects of ZPUs in biological applications.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers, particularly polyurethanes (PUs), have revolutionized bioengineering and biomedical devices due to their customizable mechanical properties and long-term stability. However, the inherent hydrophobic nature of PU surfaces arises common issues such as high friction, strong protein adsorption, and thrombosis, especially in the physiological environment of blood contact. To overcome these issues, researchers have explored various modification techniques to improve the surface biofunctionality of PUs. In this review, we have systematically summarized several typical surface modification methods including surface plasma modification, surface oxidation-induced grafting polymerization, isocyanate-based chemistry coupling, UV-induced surface grafting polymerization, adhesives-assisted attachment strategy, small molecules-bridge grafting, solvent evaporation technique, and hydrogen bonding interaction. Correspondingly, the advantages, limitations, and future prospects of these surface modification methods were discussed. This review provides an important guidance or tool for developing surface functionalized PUs in the fields of bioengineering and medical devices.

Abstract
The formation of biofilm and thrombus on medical catheters poses a significant life-threatening concern. Hydrophilic anti-biofouling coatings upon catheter surfaces with complex shapes and narrow lumens are demonstrated to have the potential in reducing complications. However, their effectiveness is constrained by poor mechanical stability and weak substrate adhesion. Herein, a novel zwitterionic polyurethane (SUPU) with strong mechanical stability and long-term anti-biofouling is developed by controlling the ratio of sulfobetaine-diol and ureido-pyrimidinone. Once immersed in water, as-synthesized zwitterionic coating (SUPU3 SE) would undergo a water-driven segment reorientation to obtain much higher durability than its direct drying one, even under various extreme treatments, including acidic solution, abrasion, ultrasonication, flushing, and shearing, in PBS at 37 °C for 14 days. Moreover, SUPU3 SE coating could achieve a 97.1% of exceptional reducing protein fouling, complete prevention of cell adhesion, and long-lasting anti-biofilm performance even after 30 days. Finally, the good anti-thrombogenic formations of SUPU3 SE coating with bacterial treatment are validated in blood circulation through an ex vivo rabbit arteriovenous shunt model. This work provides a facile approach to fabricating stable hydrophilic coating through a simple solvent exchange to reduce thrombosis and infection of biomedical catheters.

Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of a large number of antibiotic-resistant genes in bacteria, and increasing evidence indicates that a fungicide with an antibacterial mechanism different from that of antibiotics is needed. Quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) are a biparental substance with good antibacterial properties that kills bacteria through simple electrostatic adsorption and insertion into cell membranes/altering of cell membrane permeability. Therefore, the probability of bacteria developing drug resistance is greatly reduced. In this review, we focus on the synthesis and application of single-chain QASs, double-chain QASs, heterocyclic QASs, and gemini QASs (GQASs). Some possible structure-function relationships of QASs are also summarized. As such, we hope this review will provide insight for researchers to explore more applications of QASs in the field of antimicrobials with the aim of developing systems for clinical applications.

Abstract
The increasing morbidity and mortality of patients due to post-surgery complications of coronary artery bypass grafts (CABPG) are related to blood–material interactions. Thus, the characterization of the thrombogenicity of the biomaterial for cardiovascular devices is of particular interest. This research evaluated the anti-thrombogenic activity of polyurethanes–starch composites. We previously synthesized polyurethane matrices that were obtained from polycaprolactone diol (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG), pentaerythritol (PE), and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). In addition, potato starch (AL-N) and zwitterionic starch (AL-Z) were added as fillers. The anti-thrombogenic property was characterized by the clot formation time, platelet adhesion, protein absorption, TAT complex levels, and hemolysis. Additionally, we evaluated the cell viability of the endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Statically significant differences among the polyurethane matrices (P1, P2, and P3) were found for protein absorption and the blood clotting time without fillers. The polyurethanes composites with AL-Z presented an improvement in the anti-thrombogenic property. On the other hand, the composites with AL-Z reduced the viability of the endothelial cells and did not significantly affect the AoSCM (except for P1, which increased). These results classify these biomaterials as inert; therefore, they can be used for cardiovascular applications.

Abstract
The demand for effective and long-term durable antibacterial surfaces has been ever-growing in the past decades. A wide variety of long-lasting antibacterial surfaces developed from release-killing, active-killing, and anti-fouling strategies have demonstrated the desired effectiveness and durability so far. Most of these successful designs were developed from toxic and fossil-based materials, which failed to comply with the green design criteria. Furthermore, the longevity of these surfaces remained an unaddressed challenge. Herein, we present a disruptive paradigm that emphasizes both eco-friendliness and long-lasting antibacterial properties. A bio-based active-killing essential oil, namely carvacrol, and nonfouling carboxybetaine zwitterionic moieties were combined and incorporated into a highly bio-based polyurethane (BPU). The long-lasting active-killing property for this antibacterial BPU coating was enabled through the extended release of the bounded carvacrol via hydrolysis in an aqueous environment and compared to unbound carvacrol by liquid infusion. Also, the release of carvacrol generates zwitterionic moieties to prevent further bacterial attachment at the release site, resulting in a "kill and defend" synergistic antibacterial function in the BPU. The kinetics of the extended-release property were investigated and compared with unbound carvacrol BPU coatings; unbound carvacrol infused into BPU was quickly exhausted after 2 days of immersion in water, while the extended-release surface exhibited a nearly constant release rate of ∼128 ng cm-2 h-1 even after 45 days. The in vitro antibacterial efficiency of the BPUs was quantitatively evaluated using the modified ISO standard for cross-laboratory comparison. As a result, approximately 98.9 and 98.7% of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were eliminated from the coating surfaces, and only a negligible variance in the antibacterial efficiency was observed after 5 cycles of test. The feasibility for practical application was also demonstrated by challenging the BPU coatings in everyday settings. This "built-to-last" design theory provided insights for future development of greener antibacterial coatings with long-term performance.

Abstract
Inhibition of biofilm formation and induction of the re-mineralization of damaged dental tissues are two major strategies to combat dental hypersensitivity (DH). However, single component synthetic materials normally cannot fulfil these two functions during the repairing of damaged dental tissues. Here, we report zwitterionic phosphorylcholine based polymers to be a new type of dual functional coating for the repairing of DH. Zwitterionic/phosphonate copolymers, p(DEMMP-co-MPC), bearing varied zwitterionic contents (95 and 75 mol%) were prepared through conventional radical copolymerization. 1H NMR spectroscopy clearly indicated the precise preparation of the copolymers. The copolymers can be easily coated on dentine substrates based on the high affinity between the phosphonate group and the calcium phosphate minerals of the dentine substrates, as evidenced by XPS and water contact angle measurements. Antifouling evaluations indicated that zwitterionic coating can efficiently inhibit protein adsorption (BSA, egg white, and milk, by 85%) and bacterial adhesion (by 97.1%) on dentine substrates. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo experiments consistently indicated that the zwitterionic coating could not only induce the robust re-mineralization of dentine surfaces, but also template the extensive re-mineralization of dentine tubules to a similar level of pristine dentine. Both the antifouling properties and the re-mineralization potency are positively correlated with the content of zwitterionic pMPC in the coating copolymer. These findings may provide the zwitterionic phosphorylcholine based materials to be a promising candidate to treat dental hypersensitivity and other related dental diseases.

Abstract
Thermoplastic elastomers are widely used in the medical industry for advanced medical and healthcare products, helping millions of patients achieve a better quality of life. Yet, microbial contamination and material-associated biofilms on devices remain a critical challenge because it is challenging for currently available materials to provide critical antifouling properties, thermoplasticity, and elastic properties simultaneously. We developed a highly flexible zwitterionic thermoplastic polyurethane with critical antifouling properties. A series of poly((diethanolamine ethyl acetate)-co-poly(tetrahydrofuran)-co-(1,6-diisocyanatohexane)) (PCB-PTHFUs) were synthesized. The PCB-PTHFUs exhibit a breaking strain of more than 400%, a high resistance to fibroblast cells for 24 h, and the excellent ability to prevent biofilm formation for up to three weeks. This study lays a foundation for clarifying the structure-function relationships of zwitterionic polymers. This thermoplastic PCB-PTHFU platform, with its unmatched antifouling properties and high elasticity, has potential for implanted medical devices and a broad spectrum of applications that suffer from biofouling, such as material-associated infection.

Abstract
Owing to the large dynamic adsorption performance and excellent mechanical strength, spherical activated carbon (SAC) has been widely applied in the field of biochemical protection. However, the adsorbed chemical warfare agent molecules might easily escape from the pores of SAC due to the impact of ambient temperature and humidity, resulting in secondary pollution. Herein, to improve the adsorption performance of SAC, an excessive impregnation method was used to fabricate nano-silver functionalized spherical activated carbon (Ag-SAC). The surface physicochemical structure of the obtained Ag-SAC was extensively studied, and dipropyl sulfide (DPS), a simulant of sulfur mustard (HD), was employed as the adsorbate to evaluate its adsorption capability. The effects of AgNO3 impregnation concentration, reaction time, initial concentration and temperature on the adsorption performance, were investigated. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of Ag-SAC towards DPS increased by 13.41% compared with that of pristine SAC. Kinetic models, adsorption isotherm models, and adsorption thermodynamics were used to study the adsorption mechanism. The results revealed that the adsorption of DPS by Ag-SAC is a mixed synergistic process, which includes chemical adsorption and physical adsorption. Moreover, the Ag-SAC exhibited good antibacterial characteristics, with an antibacterial rate over 99.28% against Escherichia coli. We anticipate that the Ag-SAC could be a promising material for the development of high performance breathable biochemical protection clothing. A kind of functional composite was prepared by loading silver nanoparticles firmly on the surface of spherical activated carbon, which showed chemical adsorption properties for chemical warfare agents and satisfactory antibacterial activity.![]()

Abstract
Enhancing the lubrication property and bacterial resistance is extremely important for interventional biomedical implants to avoid soft tissue damage and biofilm formation. In this study, a zwitterionic phosphorylcholine coating (PMPC) was successfully developed to achieve surface functionalization of a polyurethane (PU)-based ureteral stent via subsurface "grafting from" photopolymerization. Typical surface characterizations such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and surface wettability and morphology analyses examined by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the phosphorylcholine polymer was grafted on the substrate with a thickness of 180 nm. Additionally, the tribological experiment performed by a universal material tester showed that the lubrication performance of PU-PMPC was significantly improved compared with that of PU. The in vitro experiments indicated that the PMPC coating was biocompatible and stably modified on the surface of the substrate with an excellent bacterial resistance rate of >90%. Furthermore, the result of the in vivo experiment showed that the anti-encrustation performance of the surface-functionalized ureteral stent was better than that of the bare ureteral stent. The great enhancement in the lubrication, bacterial resistance, and anti-encrustation properties of the phosphorylcholine coating was thought to be due to the hydration effects of the zwitterionic charges. In summary, the bioinspired zwitterionic phosphorylcholine coating developed herein achieved significantly improved lubrication, bacterial resistance, and anti-encrustation performances and could be used as a convenient approach for surface functionalization of interventional biomedical implants.

Abstract
Intelligent polymer nanocapsules that can not only encapsulate substances efficiently but also release them in a controllable manner hold great potential in many applications. To date, although intensive efforts have been made to develop intelligent polymer nanocapsules, how to construct the well-defined core/shell structure with high stability via a straightforward method remains a considerable challenge. In this work, the target novel zwitterionic nanocapsules (ZNCs) with a stable hollow structure were synthesized by inverse reversible addition fragmentation transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion interfacial polymerization. The shell gradually grew from the water/oil interface due to the interfacial polymerization, accompanied by the cross-linking of the polyzwitterionic networks, where the core/shell structure could be well-tuned by adjusting the precursor compositions. The resultant ZNCs exhibited a salt-/thermo-induced swelling behavior through the phase transition of the external zwitterionic polymers. To further investigate the functions of ZNCs, different substances, such as methyl orange and bovine serum albumin (BSA), were encapsulated into the ZNCs with a high encapsulation efficiency of 89.3 and 93.6%, respectively. Interestingly, the loaded substances can be controllably released in aqueous solution triggered by salt or temperature variations, and such responsiveness also can be utilized to bounce off the bacteria adhered on target surfaces. We believe that these designed salt- and thermo-responsive intelligent polymer nanocapsules with well-defined core/shell structures and antifouling surfaces should be a promising platform for biomedical and saline related applications.

Abstract
Bacterial adhesion of medical indwelling devices shortens their service life and brings about infections in patients. The combination of hydrophilic and antibacterial modifications can not only kill the bacteria in contact with the surface, but also avoid the adhesion of dead bacteria. From this view, with a self-made quaternary ammonium salt and a zwitterion as the modifiers, a modified silicone rubber, SR-g-(DMAPS-co-QA), was prepared via random co-grafting. The static water angle test and antibacterial assays proved the enhancement of both the hydrophilicity and antibacterial activity. In addition, compared with the unmodified silicone rubber, after 7 days of co-cultivation in E. coli suspension, SR-g-(DMAPS-co-QA) demonstrated good resistance to biofilm formation. Furthermore, to simulate the real situation, its antibacterial effect in dynamic flow condition was measured, confirming that SR-g-(DMAPS-co-QA) still maintained good antibacterial performance after a 48 hour cyclic flow of E. coli bacterial suspension.

Abstract
Diseases and complications related to catheter materials are severe problems in biomedical material applications, increasing the infection risk and medical expenses. Therefore, there is an enormous demand for catheter materials with antibacterial and antifouling properties. Considering this, in this work, we developed an approach of constructing antibacterial surfaces on polyurethane (PU) via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). A variety of cationic polymers were grafted on PU. The biocompatibility and antifouling properties of all resulting materials were evaluated and compared. We also used a theoretical algorithm to investigate the anticoagulant mechanism of our PU-based grafts. The hemocompatibility and anti-biofouling performance improved at a 86–112 μg/cm2 grafting density. The theoretical simulation demonstrated that the in vivo anti-fouling performance and optimal biocompatibility of our PU-based materials could be achieved at a 20% grafting degree. We also discuss the mechanism responsible for the hemocompatibility of the cationic brushes fabricated in this work. The results reported in this paper provide insights and novel ideas on material design for applications related to medical catheters.

Abstract

Surface-initiated controlled
radical polymerization is a popular technique for the modification
of biomaterials with, for example, antifouling polymers. Here, we
report on the functionalization of a supramolecular biomaterial with
zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) via atom transfer radical
polymerization from a macroinitiator additive, which is embedded in
the hard phase of the ureido-pyrimidinone-based material. Poly(sulfobetaine
methacrylate) was successfully polymerized from these surfaces, and
the polymerized sulfobetaine content, with corresponding antifouling
properties, depended on both the macroinitiator additive concentration
and polymerization time. Furthermore, the polymerization from the
macroinitiator additive was successfully translated to functional
electrospun scaffolds, showing the potential for this functionalization
strategy in supramolecular material systems.

Abstract
Creating a surface with anti- or reduced fouling characteristics can lead to a reduction in nonspecific protein adsorption as well as the bacterial adhesion and platelet adhesion/activation that occur as follows. A zwitterionic polymer that consists of both cationic and anionic functionalities have been reported as an effective material to achieve these goals, likely resulted from the strongly-adsorbed hydration layer after being immersed in the physiological environment. In this investigation, a novel beta-thiopropionate-based zwitterionic monomer, 2-ammonio-3-((3-(2-hydroxy-3-(methacryloyloxy)propoxy)-3-oxopropyl)thio)-3-methylbutanoate (DPAMA), was synthesized through a facial process. And then the hydrophobic polypropylene was surface modified with this novel zwitterionic polymer through the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization technique. Surface characterization analyses have been employed to investigate the modified surface properties in each reaction stage. In vitro protein adsorption, bacterial adhesion, and platelet compatibility evaluations have shown the polyDPAMA-modified polypropylene surface has significantly reduced fouling characteristics and good hemocompatibility. Henceforth, this novel zwitterionic polyDPAMA grafting PP and the associated grafting reaction scheme have great potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Minimizing the foreign body reaction to polyimide-based implanted devices plays a pivotal role in several biomedical applications. In this work, we propose materials exhibiting nonbiofouling properties and a Young's modulus reflecting that of soft human tissues. We describe the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro validation of poly(carboxybetaine) hydrogel coatings covalently attached to polyimide substrates via a photolabile 4-azidophenyl group, incorporated in poly(carboxybetaine) chains at two concentrations of 1.6 and 3.1 mol %. The presence of coatings was confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. White light interferometry was used to evaluate the coating continuity and thickness (between 3 and 6 μm under dry conditions). Confocal laser scanning microscopy allowed us to quantify the thickness of the swollen hydrogel coatings that ranged between 13 and 32 μm. The different hydrogel formulations resulted in stiffness values ranging from 2 to 19 kPa and led to different fibroblast and macrophage responses in vitro. Both cell types showed a minimum adhesion on the softest hydrogel type. In addition, both the overall macrophage activation and cytotoxicity were observed to be negligible for all of the tested material formulations. These results are a promising starting point toward future advanced implantable systems. In particular, such technology paves the way for novel neural interfaces able to minimize the fibrotic reaction, once implanted in vivo, and to maximize their long-term stability and functionality.

Abstract
To address the lack of blood compatibility and antifouling properties of polyurethanes (PUs), a novel zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine urethane) (PCBHU) platform with excellent antifouling and tunable mechanical properties is presented. PCBHU was synthesized via the condensation polymerization of diisocyanate with carboxybetaine (CB)-based triols. Postpolymerization hydrolysis of triol segments at the interface generates zwitterionic CB functional groups that provide superior antifouling properties via the enhanced hydration capacities of CB groups. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry measurement show the high thermal stability of PCBHU with up to 305 °C degradation temperature. Tunable mechanical properties and water uptakes can be finely tuned by controlling the structure and ratio of CB-based triol cross-linkers. This study presents a new strategy to incorporate CB functional groups into PU without significantly changing the synthetic methods and conditions of PU. It also provides a deeper understanding on structure-property relationships of zwitterionic PUs. Because of its superior antifouling properties than existing PUs and similar cost, mechanical properties, stability, and processability, PCBHU has the great potential to replace current PUs and may open a new avenue to PUs for more challenging biomedical applications in which the existing PUs are limited by calcification and poor antifouling properties.

Abstract
Zwitterion polymers have anti-fouling properties; therefore, grafting new zwitterions to surfaces, particularly as hydrogels, is one of the leading research directions for preventing fouling. Specifically, polyampholytes, polymers of random mixed charged subunits with a net-electric charge, offer a synthetically easy alternative for studying new zwitterions with a broad spectrum of charged moieties. Here, a novel polyampholyte hydrogel was grafted onto the surface of polyethersulfone membrane by copolymerizing a mixture of vinylsulfonic acid (VSA) and [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (METMAC) as the negatively and positively charged monomers, respectively, using various monomer ratios in the polymerization solution, and with N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. The physicochemical, morphological and anti-fouling properties of the modified membranes were systematically investigated. Hydrophilic hydrogels were successfully grafted using monomers at different molar ratios. A thin-film zwitterion hydrogel (∼90 nm) was achieved at a 3:1 [VSA:METMAC] molar ratio in the polymerization solution. Among all examined membranes, the zwitterion polyampholyte-modified membrane demonstrated the lowest adsorption of proteins, humic acid, and sodium alginate. It also had low fouling and high flux recovery following filtration with a protein or with an extracellular polymeric substance solution. These findings suggest that this polyampholyte hydrogel is applicable as a low fouling surface coating.

Abstract
Biomaterials with excellent blood-compatibility are needed for applications in vascular replacement therapies, such as vascular grafts, heart valves and stents, and in extracorporeal devices such as hemodialysis machines and blood-storage bags. The modification of materials that are being used for blood-contacting devices has advanced from passive surface modifications to the design of more complex, smart biomaterials that respond to relevant stimuli from blood to counteract coagulation. Logically, the main source of inspiration for the design of new biomaterials has been the endogenous endothelium. Endothelial regulation of hemostasis is complex and involves a delicate interplay of structural components and feedback mechanisms. Thus, challenges to develop new strategies for blood-compatible biomaterials now lie in incorporating true feedback controlled mechanisms that can regulate blood compatibility in a dynamic way. Here, supramolecular material systems are highlighted as they provide a promising platform to introduce dynamic reciprocity, due to their inherent dynamic nature.

Abstract
Developing a facile but efficient anti-fouling surface coating is highly required for metallic implants. Here, we report two kinds of zwitterionic copolymers (both random and block) bearing phosphonic/phosphonate motifs/segments as novel metal anchorable antifouling coatings. Through conventional free radical polymerization and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, three types of zwitterionic-phosphonic random copolymers with varying mol. ratios (9 : 1, 8 : 2, and 6 : 4) and a phosphonate-zwitterionic block copolymer were precisely prepared based on zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and phosphonate/phosphonic methacrylate. As evidenced by XPS and water contact angle tests, the two kinds of copolymers with distinguished presenting manners of the metal-anchorable phosphonate/phosphonic motifs were all successfully immobilized on the Ti substrates through a facile one-step post-functionalization. The immobilized copolymers equally exhibited strong inhibition of protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, and bacterial adhesion, endowing significantly improved antifouling ability to the metallic substrates. This work not only provides a novel approach to improve the antifouling ability of Ti substrates, the utilization of phosphonic/phosphonate based copolymers as efficient metal-anchorable coatings may offer a new platform for versatile surface functionalization of many metallic substrates.

Abstract
Coating Nitinol (NiTi) surfaces with a polymer layer has become very appealing in the past few years owing to its increased attraction in the biomedical field. Although its intrinsic properties helped ensure its popularity, its extensive implementation is still hampered by its nickel inclusion, making it sensitive to pitting corrosion and therefore leading to the release of carcinogenic Ni2+ ions. Among all recent ways to modify NiTi surfaces, elaboration of self-assembled monolayers is of great interest as their high order confers a reinforcement of the metal surface corrosion resistance and brings new functionalities to the metal for postmodification processes. In this work, we compare the electroassisted and thermally assisted self-assembling of 11-(2-bromoisobutyrate)-undecyl-1-phosphonic acid (BUPA) to the classical immersion process on NiTi surfaces initially submitted to a hydrothermal treatment. Among all tested conditions, the electroassisted grafting of BUPA at room temperature appears to be the most promising alternative, as it allows grafting in very short times (5-10 min), thus preventing its degradation. The thus-formed layer has been proven to be sufficient to enable the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate.

Abstract
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a FDA-approved photodynamic therapy (PDT) precursor of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) used for treating various cancers. However, the internalization of ALA is a big challenge due to its hydrophilic nature and low specificity to cancer cells. In this work, ALA conjugated prodrug nanoparticles were prepared by conjugation of thiolated stealth peptide sequence CPPPPEKEKEKEKEKEDGR and hydrazone-containing ALA to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Remarkable anti-fouling ability of ALA prodrug nanoparticles in complex environment was achieved owing to the zwitterionic stealth peptide sequence EKEKEKEKEK. The release of ALA could be greatly accelerated upon incubation of ALA prodrug nanoparticles in lysosomal/endosomal pH (pH 5.5). Meanwhile, the cellular internalization could be greatly enhanced by RGD moieties. MTT results demonstrated that ALA prodrug nanoparticles exhibited better photodynamic cytotoxicity than free ALA after light irradiation, suggesting enhanced photodynamic therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
In this study, a robust and straightforward method to covalently attach multi-functional hydrogel thin layers onto substrates was provided. In our strategy, double bonds were firstly introduced onto substrates to provide anchoring points for hydrogel layers, and then hydrogel thin layers were prepared via surface cross-linking copolymerization of the immobilized double bonds with functional monomers. Sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA), sodium allysulfonate (SAS), and methyl acryloyloxygen ethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (METAC) were selected as functional monomers to form hydrogel layers onto polyether sulfone (PES) membrane surfaces, respectively. The thickness of the formed hydrogel layers could be controlled, and the layers showed excellent long-term stability. The PSBMA hydrogel layer exhibited superior antifouling property demonstrated by undetectable protein adsorption and excellent bacteria resistant property; after attaching PSAS hydrogel layer, the membrane showed incoagulable surface property when contacting with blood confirmed by the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) value exceeding 600s; while, the PMETAC hydrogel thin layer could effectively kill attached bacteria. The proposed method provides a new platform to directly modify material surfaces with desired properties, and thus has great potential to be widely used in designing materials for blood purification, drug delivery, wound dressing, and intelligent biosensors.
