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 presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in our environment is a matter of growing concern. Consumption of contaminated drinking water or contaminated fruit or vegetables can provoke ailments and even diseases, mainly in the digestive system. In this work, we present the latest data on the ability to remove bacteria from potable water and wastewater. The article discusses the mechanisms of the antibacterial activity of polymers, consisting of the electrostatic interaction between bacterial cells and the surface of natural and synthetic polymers functionalized with metal cations (polydopamine modified with silver nanoparticles, starch modified with quaternary ammonium or halogenated benzene). The synergistic effect of polymers (N-alkylaminated chitosan, silver doped polyoxometalate, modified poly(aspartic acid)) with antibiotics has also been described, allowing for precise targeting of drugs to infected cells as a preventive measure against the excessive spread of antibiotics, leading to drug resistance among bacteria. Cationic polymers, polymers obtained from essential oils (EOs), or natural polymers modified with organic acids are promising materials in the removal of harmful bacteria. Antimicrobial polymers are successfully used as biocides due to their acceptable toxicity, low production costs, chemical stability, and high adsorption capacity thanks to multi-point attachment to microorganisms. New achievements in the field of polymer surface modification in order to impart antimicrobial properties were summarized.

Abstract
![]()
Implant-associated infections arising from biofilm development
are known to have detrimental effects with compromised quality of
life for the patients, implying a progressing issue in healthcare.
It has been a struggle for more than 50 years for the biomaterials
field to achieve long-term success of medical implants by discouraging
bacterial and protein adhesion without adversely affecting the surrounding
tissue and cell functions. However, the rate of infections associated
with medical devices is continuously escalating because of the intricate
nature of bacterial biofilms, antibiotic resistance, and the lack
of ability of monofunctional antibacterial materials to prevent the
colonization of bacteria on the device surface. For this reason, many
current strategies are focused on the development of novel antibacterial
surfaces with dual antimicrobial functionality. These surfaces are
based on the combination of two components into one system that can
eradicate attached bacteria (antibiotics, peptides, nitric oxide,
ammonium salts, light, etc.) and also resist or release
adhesion of bacteria (hydrophilic polymers, zwitterionic, antiadhesive,
topography, bioinspired surfaces, etc.). This review
aims to outline the progress made in the field of biomedical engineering
and biomaterials for the development of multifunctional antibacterial
biomedical devices. Additionally, principles for material design and
fabrication are highlighted using characteristic examples, with a
special focus on combinational nitric oxide-releasing biomedical interfaces.
A brief perspective on future research directions for engineering
of dual-function antibacterial surfaces is also presented.

Abstract
The presence of bacteria and biofilm on medical device surfaces has been linked to serious infections, increased health care costs, and failure of medical devices. Therefore, antimicrobial biointerfaces and medical devices that can thwart microbial attachment and biofilm formation are urgently needed. Both nitric oxide (NO) and chlorhexidine diacetate (CHXD) possess broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. In the past, individual polymer release systems of CHXD and NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) incorporated polymer platforms have attracted considerable attention for biomedical/therapeutic applications. However, the combination of the two surfaces has not yet been explored. Herein, the synergy of NO and CHXD was evaluated to create an antimicrobial medical-grade silicone rubber. The 10 wt% SNAP films were fabricated using solvent casting with a topcoat of CHXD (1, 3, and 5 wt%) to generate a dual-active antibacterial interface. Chemiluminescence studies confirmed the NO release from SNAP-CHXD films at physiologically relevant levels (0.5-4 × 10-10 mol min-1 cm-2 ) for at least 3 weeks and CHXD release for at least 7 days. Further characterization of the films via SEM-EDS confirmed uniform distribution of SNAP and presence of CHXD within the polymer films without substantial morphological changes, as confirmed by contact angle hysteresis. Moreover, the dual-active SNAP-CHXD films were able to significantly reduce Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (>3-log reduction) compared to controls with no explicit toxicity towards mouse fibroblast cells. The synergy between the two potent antimicrobial agents will help combat bacterial contamination on biointerfaces and enhance the longevity of medical devices.
