Abstract
Zwitterionic polymers possess equal total positive and negative charges in the repeating units, making them electrically neutral overall. This unique property results in superhydrophilicity, which makes the zwitterionic polymers highly effective in resisting protein adsorption, thus endowing the drug carriers with long blood circulation time, inhibiting thrombus formation on biomedical devices in contact with blood, and ensuring the good sensitivity of sensors in biomedical application. Moreover, zwitterionic polymers have tumor-targeting ability and pH-responsiveness, rendering them ideal candidates for antitumor drug delivery. Additionally, the high ionic conductivity of zwitterionic polymers makes them an important raw material for ionic skin. Zwitterionic polymers exhibit remarkable resistance to bacterial adsorption and growth, proving their suitability in a wide range of biomedical applications such as ophthalmic applications, and wound dressings. In this paper, we provide an in-depth analysis of the different structures and characteristics of zwitterionic polymers and highlight their unique qualities and suitability for biomedical applications. Furthermore, we discuss the limitations and challenges that must be overcome to realize the full potential of zwitterionic polymers and present an optimistic perspective for zwitterionic polymers in the biomedical fields. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Zwitterionic polymers have a series of excellent properties such as super hydrophilicity, anti-protein adsorption, antibacterial ability and good ionic conductivity. However, biomedical applications of multifunctional zwitterionic polymers are still a major field to be explored. This review focuses on the design and application of zwitterionic polymers-based nanosystems for targeted and responsive delivery of antitumor drugs and cancer diagnostic agents. Moreover, the use of zwitterionic polymers in various biomedical applications such as biomedical devices in contact with blood, biosensors, ionic skin, ophthalmic applications and wound dressings is comprehensively described. We discuss current results and future challenges for a better understanding of multifunctional zwitterionic polymers for biomedical applications.

[PMID: 37956592 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
Contact Lens Discomfort (CLD) is the main cause in contact lens (CLs) discontinuation, referred in literature as drop-out phenomenon. Despite such evidence was reported in several clinical studies, a relationship between physico-chemical properties of CLs and CLD is not still totally understood. In this regard, the friction of CLs surfaces seems to be related to discomfort feeling events, probably due to an alteration of the lubricate function of the tear film after the CL placement inside the ocular environment. In the last years, many studies have been finalized to the friction measurements of CLs surface, finding conflicting data due to a lack in standardized protocol. The aim of this review is primarily to show evident relationships between CLs surface properties (i.e. wettability, tear evaporation, tear film quality, etc.) and the coefficient of friction (CoF), resulting therefore the most relevant physical quantity in the CLs characterization. In addition, we reported the most recent studies in CLs tribology, which highlight that the introduction of a standard protocol in CoF measurements is necessary to obtain reproducible results, considering the aim to evaluate in a more precise way the relationship between this material surface property and comfort in CLs users.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to develop a series of multifunctional materials with good biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, hemostatic properties, antiadhesion, and anti-infection for applications in wound care. However, successfully developing multifunctional materials is challenging. In this study, two superhydrophobic composite coatings with good biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, strong antifouling and blood repellency, fast hemostasis, and good antibacterial activity are prepared on cotton fabric surface by simple, green, and low-cost one-step dip-coating technology. The results discussed in the manuscript reveals that the two superhydrophobic composite coatings can maintain good mechanical stability, strong water repellency, and durability under various types of mechanical damage, high-temperature treatment, and long-term strong light irradiation. The coatings also exhibit good repellency to various solid pollutants, highly viscous liquid pollutants, and blood. In vitro and in vivo hemostatic experiments show that both composite coatings have good hemostatic and anticlot adhesion properties. More importantly, this superhydrophobic coating prevents bacterial adhesion and growth and released Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions and chitosan to achieve bactericidal properties, thereby protecting injured skin from bacterial infection. The two superhydrophobic coatings enhance the antifouling, antiadhesion, hemostatic, and antibacterial functions of blood-repellent dressings and therefore have broad application prospects in medical and textile fields.

Abstract
We report the construction of amphiphilic conetwork (APCN)-based surfaces with potent antimicrobial activity and biofilm inhibition ability. The construction strategy is based on the separation of lipophilic alkyl groups (>C6) from the cationic network to obtain good antibacterial properties. The reaction of partially alkylated poly(vinyl imidazole) with the activated halide compounds followed by coating a glass or poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) sheet leads to the formation of the APCN surface. The dangling alkyl chains, crosslinking junctions, and unreacted vinyl imidazole groups are heterogeneously distributed in the APCNs. The swelling, mechanical property, and phase morphology of the APCN films have been evaluated. Bacterial cell disrupting potency of the APCN coatings increases with increasing alkyl chain length from C6 to C18 with somewhat more of an effect on Escherichia coli as compared to Bacillus subtilis bacteria. The minimum inhibitory amount of the APCNs on glass and a hydrophobic PDMS surface is in the range of 0.02-0.04 mg/cm2 depending on the chain length of the alkyl and the degree of quaternization. The effect of the type of crosslinker for the construction of the conetwork on the antimicrobial property has been evaluated to elucidate the exclusive design of the APCNs. The APCN-based coatings provide potent biocidal activity without much negatively affecting the hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. These APCNs provide a good model system for comparative evaluation of the biocidal property and structural effect on the biocidal activity.

Abstract
Long-term blood-contacting devices (e.g., central venous catheters, CVCs) still face the highest incidence of blood stream infection and thrombosis in clinical application. To effectively address these complications, this work reports a dual-functional surface engineering strategy for CVCs by organic integration of endothelium-mimicking and fibrinolytic functions. In this proposal, a lysine (Lys)/Cu2+ -incorporated zwitterionic polymer coating (defined as PDA/Lys/Cu-SB) is designed and robustly fabricated onto commercial CVCs using a facile two-step process. Initially, adhesive ene-functionalized dopamine is covalently reacted with Lys and simultaneously coordinated with bactericidal Cu2+ ions, leading to the deposition of a PDA/Lys/Cu coating on CVCs through mussel foot protein inspired surface chemistry. Next, zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (pSB) brushes are grafted onto the PDA/Lys/Cu coating to endow lubricant and antifouling properties. In the final PDA/Lys/Cu-SB coating, endothelium-mimicking function is achieved by combining the catalytic generation of nitric oxide from the chelated Cu2+ with antifouling pSB brushes, which led to significant prevention of thrombosis, and bacterial infection in vivo. Furthermore, the immobilized Lys with fibrinolytic activity show remarkably enhanced long-term anti-thrombogenic properties as evidenced in vivo by demonstrating the capability to lyse nascent clots. Therefore, this developed strategy provides a promising solution for long-term blood-contacting devices to combat thrombosis and infection.

Abstract
Antifouling coatings based on zwitterionic polymers have been widely applied for surface modification of interventional blood-contacting devices to combat thrombosis and infection. However, the weak adhesion stability of the zwitterionic coating to the device surface is still the key challenge. In this work, biocompatible mixed-charge zwitterionic polyurethane (MPU) polymers, that bear equal amounts of cationic quaternary amine groups and anionic carboxyl groups, were developed and further uniformly dip-coated onto a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) substrate with a commercial aliphatic isocyanate cross-linker (AIC). During the curing process, AIC not only crosslinks MPU chains into a polymer network but also reacts with hydroxyl groups of TPU to interlink the polymer network to the substrate, resulting in a cross-linking reinforced MPU coating (CMPU) with excellent mechanical robustness and adhesion strength. Taking advantage of the mixed-charge feature, the final zwitterionic CMPU coating exhibits both excellent antifouling and antibacterial activities against protein adsorption and bacterial growth, respectively, which is beneficial for effectively inhibiting the occurrence of in vivo infection. Moreover, anticoagulation studies show that CMPU-coated TPU catheters can also prevent the formation of blood clots in ex vivo rabbit blood circuits without anticoagulants. Hence, the designed CMPU coating has immense potential to address thrombosis and infection for interventional blood-contacting devices.

Abstract
Biomaterials and biomedical devices induced life-threatening bacterial infections and other biological adverse effects such as thrombosis and fibrosis have posed a significant threat to global healthcare. Bacterial infections and adverse biological effects are often caused by the formation of microbial biofilms and the adherence of various biomacromolecules, such as platelets, proteins, fibroblasts, and immune cells, to the surfaces of biomaterials and biomedical devices. Due to the programmed interconnected networking of bacteria in microbial biofilms, they are challenging to treat and can withstand several doses of antibiotics. Additionally, antibiotics can kill bacteria but do not prevent the adsorption of biomacromolecules from physiological fluids or implanting sites, which generates a conditioning layer that promotes bacteria's reattachment, development, and eventual biofilm formation. In these viewpoints, we highlighted the magnitude of biomaterials and biomedical device-induced infections, the role of biofilm formation, and biomacromolecule adhesion in human pathogenesis. We then discussed the solutions practiced in healthcare systems for curing biomaterials and biomedical device-induced infections and their limitations. Moreover, this review comprehensively elaborated on the recent advances in designing and fabricating biomaterials and biomedical devices with these three properties: antibacterial (bacterial killing), antibiofilm (biofilm inhibition/prevention), and antibiofouling (biofouling inhibition/prevention) against microbial species and against the adhesion of other biomacromolecules. Besides we also recommended potential directions for further investigations.

Abstract
Antimicrobial coatings have a finite lifetime because of wear, depletion of the active ingredient, or surface contamination that produces a barrier between the pathogen and the active ingredient. The limited lifetime means that facile replacement is important. Here, we describe a generic method for rapidly applying and reapplying antimicrobial coatings to common-touch surfaces. The method is to deposit an antimicrobial coating on a generic adhesive film (wrap), and then to attach that modified wrap to the common-touch surface. In this scenario, the adhesion of the wrap and antimicrobial efficacy are separated and can be optimized independently. We demonstrate the fabrication of two antimicrobial wraps, both using cuprous oxide (Cu2O) as the active ingredient. The first uses polyurethane (PU) as the polymeric binder and the second uses polydopamine (PDA). Our antimicrobial PU/Cu2O and PDA/Cu2O wraps, respectively, kill >99.98% and >99.82% of the human pathogen, P. aeruginosa, in only 10 min, and each of them kill >99.99% of the bacterium in 20 min. These antimicrobial wraps can be removed and replaced on the same object in <1 min with no tools. Wraps are already frequently used by consumers to coat drawers or cars for aesthetic or protective purposes.

Abstract
Antimicrobial coatings can be used to reduce the transmission of infectious agents that are spread by contact. An effective coating should kill microbes in the time between users, which is sometimes minutes or less. Fast killing requires fast transport, and our proposed method of fast transport is a porous coating where the contaminated liquid imbibes (infiltrates) into the pores to achieve rapid contact with active material inside the pores. We test the hypothesis that a porous antimicrobial coating will enable faster inactivation of microorganisms than a planar coating of the same material. We use hydrophilic pores with dimensions of 5-100 μm such that liquid droplets imbibe in seconds, and from there transport distances and times are short, defined by the pore size rather than the droplet size. Our coating has two levels of structure: (A) a porous scaffold and (B) an antimicrobial coating within the pore structure containing the active ingredient. Two scaffolds are studied: stainless steel and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The active ingredient is electrolessly deposited copper. To enhance adhesion and growth of copper, a layer of polydopamine (PDA) is deposited on the scaffold prior to deposition of the copper. This porous copper coating kills 99.84% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa within 3 min, which is equivalent to a half-life of 27 s. In contrast, the same layer of PDA/copper on a nonporous coating kills 79.65% in the same time frame, consistent with the hypothesis that the killing rate is increased by the addition of porosity. Using the porous PMMA scaffold, the porous antimicrobial coating kills >99.99% P. aeruginosa in 5 min, which is equivalent to a half-life of 21 s. The higher rate of kill on the porous antimicrobial solid is appropriate for hindering the spread of infectious agents on common-use objects.

Abstract
Introduction: Titanium (Ti) and Ti-based alloy materials are commonly used to develop artificial hearts. To prevent bacterial infections and thrombus in patients with implanted artificial hearts, long-term prophylactic antibiotics and anti-thrombotic drugs are required, and this may lead to health complications. Therefore, the development of optimized antibacterial and antifouling surfaces for Ti-based substrate is especially critical when designing artificial heart implants. Methods: In this study, polydopamine and poly-(sulfobetaine methacrylate) polymers were co-deposited to form a coating on the surface of Ti substrate, a process initiated by Cu2+ metal ions. The mechanism for the fabrication of the coating was investigated by coating thickness measurements as well as Ultraviolet-visible and X-ray Photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy. Characterization of the coating was observed by optical imaging, scanning electron microscope (SEM), XPS, atomic force microscope (AFM), water contact angle and film thickness. In addition, antibacterial property of the coating was tested using Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as model strains, while the material biocompatibility was assessed by the antiplatelet adhesion test using platelet-rich plasma and in vitro cytotoxicity tests using human umbilical vein endothelial cells and red blood cells. Results and discussion: Optical imaging, SEM, XPS, AFM, water contact angle, and film thickness tests demonstrated that the coating was successfully deposited on the Ti substrate surface. The biocompatibility and antibacterial assays showed that the developed surface holds great potential for improving the antibacterial and antiplatelet adhesion properties of Ti-based heart implants.

Phosphorylcholine-Based Contact Lenses for Sustained Release of Resveratrol: Design, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Performances, and In Vivo Behavior.

Abstract
Design of advanced contact lenses (CLs) demands materials that are safe and comfortable for the wearers and that preserve the normal eye microbiota, avoiding chronic inflammation and biofilm development. This work aimed to combine the natural antibiofouling phosphorylcholine and the antioxidant and prebiotic resveratrol as integral components of CLs that may have the additional performance of preventing oxidative-stress related eye diseases. Different from previous uses of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) as coating, we explored the feasibility of adding MPC at high proportions as a comonomer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)-based hydrogels while still allowing for the loading of the hydrophobic resveratrol. Homogeneous distribution of MPC along the hydrogel depth (confirmed by Raman spectroscopy) notably increased solvent uptake and the proportion of free water while it decreased Young's modulus. Relevantly, MPC did not hinder the uptake of resveratrol by CLs (>10 mg/g), which indeed showed network/water partition coefficients of >100. Protocols for CLs sterilization and loading of resveratrol under aseptic conditions were implemented, and the effects of tear proteins on resveratrol release rate were investigated. CLs sustained resveratrol release for more than 24 h in vitro, and sorption of albumin onto the hydrogel, although attenuated by MPC, slowed down the release. The combination of MPC and resveratrol reduced P. aeruginosa and S. aureus growth as tested in a novel hydrogel disk-agar interface biofilm growth setup. The developed CLs showed excellent anti-inflammatory properties and biocompatibility in in ovo and rabbit tests and provided higher and more prolonged levels of resveratrol in tear fluid, which favored resveratrol biodistribution in anterior and posterior eye segments compared to eye drops. Correlations between the release profiles of resveratrol in vitro and in vivo were assessed. Relevantly, the CLs preserved the antioxidant properties of resveratrol during the entire 8 h of wearing. In sum, CLs prepared with high proportion in MPC may help address safety and comfort requirements while having drug releasing capabilities.

Abstract
In biomedicine fields, biofouling can easily occur on devices such as sensors and catheters, causing some iatrogenic infections, which menace the lives and health of patients greatly. Therefore, it is of great significance to solve the problems of bacterial infection on the surfaces of medical devices. In this paper, "self-defensive" and antifouling zwitterionic hydrogel coatings were prepared by network interpenetration of the hydrogel and the polymeric substrates. The zwitterionic polysulfobetaine methacrylate (PSBMA) hydrogel coatings resisted most of the bacteria to adhere on the substrates. When a few bacteria were lucky to escape the antifouling defense and adhered to the coatings, gentamicin sulfate (GS) would be released under the trigger of a weakly acidic environment caused by bacterial metabolism to kill these bacteria. Simultaneously, the coatings of the bacteria-adhering sites would be degraded by hyaluronidase secreted by these bacteria and peeled off to remove the bacteria and renew the antifouling surfaces. The antifouling properties and mechanism of the self-defensive behavior of the hydrogel coatings on polymeric substrates were investigated. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial performances, as well as the biocompatibility of the coatings, were demonstrated. The results suggested that the self-defensive antifouling zwitterionic hydrogel coatings hold great potential to be used on the surfaces of polymeric medical devices.

Abstract
Due to thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia, small-diameter vascular grafts have poor long-term patency. A combination strategy based on nitric oxide (NO) and anticoagulants has the potential to address those issues. In this study, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) mats were prepared by electrospinning and coated with tannic acid (TA)/copper ion complexes. The chelated copper ions endowed the mats with sustained NO generation by catalytic decomposition of endogenous S-nitrosothiol. Subsequently, zwitterionic carboxybetaine acrylate (CBA) and argatroban (AG) were immobilized on the mats. The introduced AG and CBA had synergistic effects on the improvement of blood compatibility, resulting in reduced platelet adhesion and prolonged blood clotting time. The biocomposite mats selectively promoted the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells while inhibiting the proliferation and migration of human umbilical arterial smooth muscle cells under physiological conditions. In addition, the prepared mats exhibited antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Collectively, the prepared mats hold great promise as artificial small-diameter vascular grafts.

Abstract
The term "zwitterionic polymers" refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally distributed at the molecular level, the molecules exhibit an overall neutral charge with a strong hydration effect via ionic solvation. The strong hydration effect constitutes the foundation of a series of exceptional properties of zwitterionic materials, including resistance to protein adsorption, lubrication at interfaces, promotion of protein stabilities, antifreezing in solutions, etc. As a result, zwitterionic materials have drawn great attention in biomedical and engineering applications in recent years. In this review, we give a comprehensive and panoramic overview of zwitterionic materials, covering the fundamentals of hydration and nonfouling behaviors, different types of zwitterionic surfaces and polymers, and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Undesirable adhesion of microbes such as bacteria, fungi and viruses onto surfaces affects many industries such as marine, food, textile, and healthcare. In particular in healthcare and food packaging, the effects of unwanted microbial contamination can be life-threatening. With the current global COVID-19 pandemic, interest in the development of surfaces with superior anti-viral and anti-bacterial activities has multiplied. Polymers carrying anti-microbial properties are extensively used to functionalize material surfaces to inactivate infection-causing and biocide-resistant microbes including COVID-19. This review aims to introduce the fabrication of polymer-based antimicrobial surfaces through physical and chemical modifications, followed by the discussion of the inactivation mechanisms of conventional biocidal agents and new-generation antimicrobial macromolecules in polymer-modified antimicrobial surfaces. The advanced applications of polymer-based antimicrobial surfaces on personal protective equipment against COVID-19, food packaging materials, biomedical devices, marine vessels and textiles are also summarized to express the research trend in academia and industry.

Abstract
Implant-related infection is one of the main challenges in periodontal diseases. According to the zwitterionic properties of keratin, we aim to develop guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane with antibacterial and bioactivity properties using a keratin coating. In this study, electrospun silk fibroin (SF)-Laponite (LAP) fibrous membranes were developed as GBR membranes, and keratin extracted from sheep wool was electrosprayed on them. Here, the role of electrospraying time (2, 3, and 4h) on the properties of the GBR membranes was investigated. After physicochemical characterization of the keratin-modified membranes, in vitro bioactivity and degradation rate of the membranes were studied in simulated body fluid and phosphate buffer saline, respectively. Moreover, proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells were evaluated in contact with the keratin-modified SF-LAP membrane. Finally, the antibacterial activity of membranes against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) was investigated. Results demonstrated the successful formation of homogeneous wool keratin coating on SF-LAP fibrous membranes using a simple electrospray process. While wool keratin coating significantly enhanced the elongation and hydrophilicity of the SF-LAP membrane, the mechanical strength was not changed. In addition, keratin coating significantly improved the bioactivity and degradation rate of SF-LAP membranes, owing to the carboxyl groups of amino acids in keratin coating. In addition, the synergic role of LAP nanoparticles and keratin coating drastically improved osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Finally, the zwitterionic property of wool keratin coating originating from their equal positive (NH3 + ) and negative (COO- ) charges considerably improved the antibacterial activity of the SF-LAP membrane. Overall, keratin-coated SF-LAP fibrous membranes with significant mechanical and biological properties could have the potential for GBR membranes.

Abstract
Due to the abuse of antibiotics and the emergence of multidrug resistant microorganisms, medical devices, and related biomaterials are at high risk of microbial infection during use, placing a heavy burden on patients and healthcare systems. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs), an emerging organic-inorganic hybrid network system developed gradually in recent years, have exhibited excellent multifunctional properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties by making use of the coordination between phenolic ligands and metal ions. Further, MPNs have received widespread attention in antimicrobial infections due to their facile synthesis process, excellent biocompatibility, and excellent antimicrobial properties brought about by polyphenols and metal ions. In this review, different categories of biomaterials based on MPNs (nanoparticles, coatings, capsules, hydrogels) and their fabrication strategies are summarized, and recent research advances in their antimicrobial applications in biomedical fields (e.g., skin repair, bone regeneration, medical devices, etc.) are highlighted.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and limited surface lubrication are the two key challenges for bioimplants in dynamic contact with tissues. However, the simultaneous lubricating and antibacterial properties of the bioimplants have rarely been investigated. In this work, we successfully developed a multifunctional coating with simultaneous antibacterial and lubricating properties for surface functionalization of bioimplant materials. The multifunctional coating was fabricated on a polyurethane (PU) substrate via polydopamine (PDA)-assisted multicomponent codeposition, containing polyethyleneimine (PEI) and trace amounts of copper (Cu) as synergistic antibacterial components and zwitterionic poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) as the lubricating component. The obtained PDA(Cu)/PEI/PMPC coating showed excellent antibacterial activity (antibacterial efficiency: ∼99%) to both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared with bare PU. The excellent antibacterial properties were attributed to the combined effect of anti-adhesion capability of hydrophilic PMPC and PEI and bactericidal activity of Cu in the coating. Meanwhile, the coefficient of friction of the coating was significantly decreased by ∼52% compared with bare PU owing to the high hydration feature of PMPC, suggesting the superior lubricating property. Furthermore, the PDA(Cu)/PEI/PMPC coating was highly biocompatible toward human umbilical vein endothelial cells demonstrated by in vitro cytotoxicity tests. This study not only contributes to the chemistry of PDA-assisted multicomponent codeposition but also provides a facile and practical way for rational design of multifunctional coatings for medical devices.

Abstract
The eye is one of the most complex organs in the human body, containing rich and critical physiological information (e.g., intraocular pressure, corneal temperature, and pH) as well as a library of metabolite biomarkers (e.g., glucose, proteins, and specific ions). Smart contact lenses (SCLs) can serve as a wearable intelligent ocular prosthetic device capable of noninvasive and continuous monitoring of various essential physical/biochemical parameters and drug loading/delivery for the treatment of ocular diseases. Advances in SCL technologies and the growing public interest in personalized health are accelerating SCL research more than ever before. Here, the current status and potential of SCL development through a comprehensive review from fabrication to applications to commercialization are discussed. First, the material, fabrication, and platform designs of the SCLs for the diagnostic and therapeutic applications are discussed. Then, the latest advances in diagnostic and therapeutic SCLs for clinical translation are reviewed. Later, the established techniques for wearable power transfer and wireless data transmission applied to current SCL devices are summarized. An outlook, future opportunities, and challenges for developing next-generation SCL devices are also provided. With the rise in interest of SCL development, this comprehensive and essential review can serve as a new paradigm for the SCL devices.

Abstract
Foot plantar pressure monitoring and gait analysis are of great significant in footwear design, sport biomechanics, injury prevention, and early warning of disease. Flexible and wearable smart insoles pave a feasible way for these application scenarios. However, the majority of the currently developed smart insoles are composed of synthetic polymers (e.g., plastics, rubbers, etc.), leading to inevitable problems associated with air permeability, hygiene condition, biocompatibility, and wearing comfort. Here, a new paradigm of a natural collagen fiber network (CFN) with soft and breathable features, which can be obtained by facilely treating animal hides via conventional leather pretreatment process, is selected as substrate material for constructing smart insoles due to its high permeability and porosity. Further, biocompatible zwitterionic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with both carboxybetaine and catechol groups on the interface were designed for firmly and uniformly immobilization onto the hierarchical micro-/nanoscale fibers of CFN through mussel-inspired catechol/amino chemistry, giving rise to both good antibacterial property and pressure sensing capability of the resultant material. The finally developed smart insole by using the AgNPs decorated CFN exhibits good capability for plantar pressure mapping and gait feature analysis. Especially, the smart insole will be very suitable for pressure monitoring and gait analysis of a diabetic foot with sensitive skin that requires a high biocompatible and antibacterial environment.

Abstract
Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal-phenolic materials are assembled from phenolic components in the presence of metal ions through the formation of metal-organic complexes. Alkali, alkali-earth, transition, and noble metal ions as well as metalloids interacting with phenolic building blocks have been widely exploited to generate diverse hybrid materials. Despite extensive studies on the synthesis of metal-phenolic materials, a comprehensive summary of how metal ions guide the assembly of phenolic compounds is lacking. A fundamental understanding of the roles of metal ions in metal-phenolic materials engineering will facilitate the assembly of materials with specific and functional properties. In this review, we focus on the diversity and function of metal ions in metal-phenolic material engineering and emerging applications. Specifically, we discuss the range of underlying interactions, including (i) cation-π, (ii) coordination, (iii) redox, and (iv) dynamic covalent interactions, and highlight the wide range of material properties resulting from these interactions. Applications (e.g., biological, catalytic, and environmental) and perspectives of metal-phenolic materials are also highlighted.

Multifunctional Baicalin-Modified Contact Lens for Preventing Infection, Regulating the Ocular Surface Microenvironment and Promoting Corneal Repair. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:855022.

Abstract
Corneal injury inevitably leads to disruption of the ocular surface microenvironment, which is closely associated with delayed epithelial cell repair and the development of infection. Recently, drug-loaded therapeutic contact lenses have emerged as a new approach to treating corneal injury due to their advantages of relieving pain, promoting corneal repair, and preventing infection. However, few therapeutic contact lenses could modulate the ocular surface’s inflammation and oxidative stress microenvironment. To address this, in this study, we covalently immobilized multifunctional baicalin (BCL), a flavon molecular with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress, and antibacterial capabilities, onto the surface of the contact lens. The BCL-modified contact lens showed excellent optical properties, powerful antibacterial properties, and non-toxicity to endothelial cells. Furthermore, the BCL-modified contact lens could significantly modulate the ocular surface microenvironment, including inhibition of macrophage aggregation and resistance to epithelium damage caused by oxidative stress. In animal models, BCL-modified corneal contact lens effectively promoted corneal epithelial cells repair. These excellent properties suggested that multifunctional BCL molecules had great application potential in the surface engineering of ophthalmic medical materials.

Abstract
Nonspecific protein adsorption impedes the sustainability of materials in biologically related applications. Such adsorption activates the immune system by quick identification of allogeneic materials and triggers a rejection, resulting in the rapid failure of implant materials and drugs. Antifouling materials have been rapidly developed in the past 20 years, from natural polysaccharides (such as dextran) to synthetic polymers (such as polyethylene glycol, PEG). However, recent studies have shown that traditional antifouling materials, including PEG, still fail to overcome the challenges of a complex human environment. Zwitterionic materials are a class of materials that contain both cationic and anionic groups, with their overall charge being neutral. Compared with PEG materials, zwitterionic materials have much stronger hydration, which is considered the most important factor for antifouling. Among zwitterionic materials, zwitterionic hydrogels have excellent structural stability and controllable regulation capabilities for various biomedical scenarios. Here, we first describe the mechanism and structure of zwitterionic materials. Following the preparation and property of zwitterionic hydrogels, recent advances in zwitterionic hydrogels in various biomedical applications are reviewed.

Abstract
The use of anti-biofouling polymers has widespread potential for counteracting marine, medical, and industrial biofouling. The anti-biofouling action is usually related to the degree of surface wettability. This review is focusing on anti-biofouling polymers with special surface wettability, and it will provide a new perspective to promote the development of anti-biofouling polymers for biomedical applications. Firstly, current anti-biofouling strategies are discussed followed by a comprehensive review of anti-biofouling polymers with specific types of surface wettability, including superhydrophilicity, hydrophilicity, and hydrophobicity. We then summarize the applications of anti-biofouling polymers with specific surface wettability in typical biomedical fields both in vivo and in vitro, such as cardiology, ophthalmology, and nephrology. Finally, the challenges and directions of the development of anti-biofouling polymers with special surface wettability are discussed. It is helpful for future researchers to choose suitable anti-biofouling polymers with special surface wettability for specific biomedical applications.

Abstract
Microbial infections caused by wearing contact lenses has become a major health problem, so the design and development of antibacterial contact lenses has attracted widespread attention. To safely and effectively inhibit bacterial adhesion of contact lenses, we have facilely prepared epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) loaded starch hydrogel/contact lens composites by in-situ free radical polymerization of the mixture containing 2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The adequate transmittance of the resulting contact lenses was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and their satisfactory stability was examined using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Whereafter, cytotoxicity and degradation experiments were performed to investigate the biocompatibility and degradability of the contact lenses. The results showed the nontoxicity and good degradability of the composites. Besides, the capacity of the contact lenses for in vitro release of EGCG was also evaluated, and the results showed that the EGCG in these contact lenses can be sustainably released for at least 14 days. Further bacterial adhesion assay suggested that the EGCG loaded starch hydrogel/contact lenses could significantly reduce the adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared to the control. The EGCG loaded starch hydrogel/contact lens composites provide a potential intervention strategy for preventing ocular microbial infections and inhibiting bacterial keratitis.

Abstract
The introduction of various drugs onto commercial soft contact lenses (CLs) has emerged as a potentially effective strategy for treating microbial keratitis (MK) because drug-loaded CLs can maintain a controlled drug concentration which leaded to enhanced drug bioavailability and reduced side effects in ocular tissues. In this study, silver nanoparticles modified with zwitterionic poly (carboxybetaine-co-dopamine methacrylamide) copolymer (PCBDA@AgNPs) as novel anti-infective therapeutics were prepared and firmly immobilized onto soft CLs through mussel-inspired surface chemistry. The obtained PCBDA@AgNPs coated CL (PCBDA@AgNPs-CL) remained the excellent transparency of commercial CLs and exhibited strong and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities. We systematically explored the mechanism and found that the functional CLs can effectively inhibit the growth of microbial biofilms via a synergic "resist-kill-remove" strategy due to the zwitterionic surface and sustained release of silver ions. Significantly, in vitro cell cytotoxicity and in vivo subcutaneous implantation experiments proved the significant biosafety of PCBDA@AgNPs-CL. Furthermore, PCBDA@AgNPs-CL was successfully employed for the in vivo treatment of MK rabbit models, demonstrating excellent abilities to eradicate microbe-induced ocular infections and to prevent the destruction and irreversible structural alterations of corneal tissues. Collectively, PCBDA@AgNPs-CL is therefore a highly promising therapeutic device to significantly boost the efficacy for MK treatment.

Abstract
Inflammation and thrombosis are two major complications of blood-contacting catheters that are used as extracorporeal circuits for hemodialysis and life-support systems. In clinical applications, complications can lead to increased mortality and morbidity rates. In this work, a biomimetic erythrocyte membrane zwitterion coating based on poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-co-dopamine methacrylate) (pMPCDA) copolymers is uniformly and robustly modified onto a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) catheter via mussel-inspired surface chemistry. The zwitterionic pMPCDA coating exhibits excellent antifouling activity and resists bacterial adhesion, fibrinogen adsorption, and platelet adhesion/activation. The material also demonstrates great hemocompatibility, cytocompatibility, and anticoagulation properties in vitro. Additionally, this biocompatible pMPCDA coating reduces in vivo foreign-body reactions by mitigating inflammatory response and collagen capsule formation, due to its outstanding ability to resist nonspecific protein adsorption. More importantly, when compared with a bare PVC catheter, the pMPCDA coating exhibits outstanding antithrombotic properties when tested in an ex vivo rabbit perfusion model. Thus, it is envisioned that this biomimetic erythrocyte membrane surface strategy will provide a promising way to mitigate inflammation and thrombosis caused by the use of blood-contacting catheters.

Abstract
The attachment of bio-foulants, including unwanted cells, proteins, and bacteria, to a medical device such as an intraocular lens can lead to implantation failure. Hydrophilic polymers are often used as surface modifiers in the fabrication of anti-biofouling coatings, but a hydrophilic coating can easily become swollen and peel off the substrate. In this study, we chose polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as the representative material of intraocular lenses because PMMA has better biocompatibility, a higher refractive index, better optical clarity, lighter weight, more stable performance, and lower cost than other intraocular lens materials. We fabricated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coatings with or without a "bridge", that is, an intermediate adhesive layer (AL), to increase the adhesion bonding effect between the anti-biofouling coating and the substrate. The results indicated that the prepared coatings were transparent and noncytotoxic. Moreover, the anti-adhesion properties of the cells and the resistance properties to nonspecific protein adsorption of PMMA modified by both AL and PVA coatings were better and more durable compared with the sample only modified with a physically dipped PVA coating. The coating prepared by AL "bridging" provides a new strategy for the preparation of a transparent hydrophilic anti-biofouling coating suitable for PMMA intraocular lens materials.

Abstract
Violent inflammation has impeded worry-free application of polypropylene (PP) hernia meshes. Efficient anti-inflammatory coatings are urgently needed to alter the situation. Here, we present a zipper-like, two-layer coating with an intermediate antioxidant layer (I) and an outer antifouling layer (II) to endow PP meshes with synergistic anti-inflammatory effects. The controllable antioxidant ability of layer I was obtained by modulating the assembly cycle of the metal-phenolic network (MPN) composed of tannic acid (TA) and Fe3+. Polyzwitterionic (PMAD) brush-based layer II was generated upon multiple interactions between the catechol side groups of PMAD and layer I. To consolidate the entire assembly architecture, aryloxy radical coupling was initiated through alkali-catalyzed oxidation. The reaction is similar to a "zipping up" process to construct covalent bonds in the I-II interface and layer I by coupling adjacent catechol groups, which facilely achieved grafting and cross-linking. The obtained coating (PMAD-TA/Fe) did not affect the original properties of the PP mesh and remained stable during cyclic tensile testing or degradation. Most importantly, the excellent antioxidant and antifouling capacities enabled PMAD-TA/Fe-PP to exhibit desirable anti-inflammatory effects and reduce collagen deposition when compared with the bare material. The synergistic anti-inflammatory coating eliminates a major hindrance in the design of biocompatible meshes, and its potential application in developing medical implants with low immunogenicity is promising.

Abstract
Implanted biomaterials such as medical catheters are prone to be adhered by proteins, platelets and bacteria due to their surface hydrophobicity characteristics, and then induce related infections and thrombosis. Hence, the development of a versatile strategy to endow surfaces with antibacterial and antifouling functions is particularly significant for blood-contacting materials. In this work, CuSO4/H2O2 was used to trigger polydopamine (PDA) and poly-(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) co-deposition process to endow polyurethane (PU) antibacterial and antifouling surface (PU/PDA(Cu)/PSBMA). The zwitterions contained in the PU/PDA(Cu)/PSBMA coating can significantly improve surface wettability to reduce protein adsorption, thereby improving its blood compatibility. In addition, the copper ions released from the metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) imparted them more than 90% antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Notably, PU/PDA(Cu)/PSBMA also exhibits excellent performance in vivo mouse catheter-related infections models. Thus, the PU/PDA(Cu)/PSBMA has great application potential for developing multifunctional surface coatings for blood-contacting materials so as to improve antibacterial and anticoagulant properties.

Abstract
Hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) are widely used in cataract treatment for posterior capsule opacification (PCO) prophylaxis. However, undesired glistening and postoperative endophthalmitis are two major potential risks. Hence, a series of poly(2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate-co-2-phenoxyethyl acrylate-co-2-ethylhexyl methacrylate) (PPPE) acrylic IOL materials were synthesized for "glistening-free" optimization. The selected PPPE with 2% 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate showed excellent optical, foldable, and thermomechanical properties. The anterior surface of PPPE was coated with polydopamine followed by gentamycin conjugation (PDA/GS). It inhibited bacterial adhesion by 74% and decreased the biofilm thickness by 87%. In inflammatory mimicking conditions, bacterial proliferation was restrained, with acidic-dependent GS release behavior. The surface of PPPE toward the posterior capsule remained hydrophobic. It was conducive to human lens epithelial cell adhesion, collagen IV and fibronectin adsorption, and the following "sealed sandwich structure" formation. In summary, the PPPE with a dual-side heterogeneous surface displayed good application prospects in postoperative endophthalmitis and PCO prevention.

Abstract
Compared with traditional glasses, the comfortable and convenient contact lens (CL) has seen an upsurge among the public. However, due to the lack of antibacterial properties of ordinary CLs, the risk of eye infection is greatly increased accordingly. On the other hand, ordinary CLs also cannot effectively reduce the short-wavelength blue light emitted from electronic products, such as mobile phones and computers. Aiming at the above two problems, zinc oxide (ZnO)/cyclized polyacrylonitrile (CPAN) composites are developed for CL modification. After loading with ZnO/CPAN (ZC), the CL shows a broad-spectrum antibacterial property. Further experiments also prove that it can block UVB, UVA, as well as blue light selectively, under the premise of ensuring hydrophilicity and certain transparency. Theoretically, this ZC-decorated CL can fundamentally reduce the damage to the eyes from harmful light emitted by light-emitting diodes and the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, which is thus a promising eye protection strategy for modern society.

Abstract
Contact lenses are widely used for visual corrections. However, while wearing contact lenses, eyes typically face discomforts (itching, irritation, burning, etc.) due to foreign object sensation, lack of oxygen permeability, and tear film disruption as opposed to a lack of wetting agents. Eyes are also prone to ocular infections such as bacterial keratitis (BK) and fungal keratitis (FK) and inflammatory events such as contact lens-related acute red eye (CLARE), contact lens peripheral ulcer (CLPU), and infiltrative keratitis (IK) caused by pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains that contaminate contact lenses. Therefore, a good design of contact lenses should adequately address the need for wetting, the supply of antioxidants, and antifouling and antimicrobial efficacy. Here, we developed multifunctional gallic acid (GA), phytomolecules-coated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZN), and phytomolecules-coated zinc oxide nanoparticles + gallic acid + tobramycin (ZGT)-coated contact lenses using a sonochemical technique. The coated contact lenses exhibited significant antibacterial (>log10 5.60), antifungal, and antibiofilm performance against BK-causing multidrug resistant bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia. coli) and FK-related pathogenic fungal strains (Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Fusarium solani). The gallic acid, tobramycin, and phytomolecules-coated zinc oxide nanoparticles have different functionalities (-OH, -NH2, -COOH, -COH, etc.) that enhanced wettability of the coated contact lenses as compared to that of uncoated ones and further enabled them to exhibit remarkable antifouling property by prohibiting adhesion of platelets and proteins. The coated contact lenses also showed significant antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH and good cytocompatibility to human corneal epithelial cells and keratinocytes cell lines. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: • Multifunctional coated lenses were developed with an efficient sonochemical approach. • Lens surface was modified with nanocoatings of ZnO nanoparticles, gallic acid, and tobramycin. • This synergistic combination endowed the lenses with remarkable antimicrobial activity. • Coated lenses also showed noteworthy antifouling and biofilm inhibition activities. • Coated lenses showed good antioxidant, biocompatibility, and wettability characteristics.

Abstract
Mature microfiltration (MF) membrane is a low-cost, effective, and promising technology to provide affordable purified water for people living in developing countries. However, the lack of disinfection ability and inherent membrane fouling problems have seriously restricted the large-scale application of conventional MF treatment system in producing safe drinking water. In this work, zwitterionic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with surface modification of poly(carboxybetaine acrylate-co-dopamine methacryamide) (PCBDA) copolymers were robustly immobilized onto commercial polyamide MF membrane via mussel-inspired chemistry for water disinfection. The designed microfiltration membrane, named as PCBDA@AgNPs-MF, exhibited integrated properties of high and stable payload of AgNPs, broad-spectrum anti-adhesive and antimicrobial activities, and easy removal of inactivated microbial cells from membrane surface. Ascribing to the synergetic effect of anti-adhesive and antimicrobial features brought by zwitterionic PCBDA@AgNPs, the biofilms growth on polyamide membrane surface was significantly inhibited, which showed potential access to achieve long-term biofouling resistance and maintain water flux for conventional MF membrane. As water disinfection device, these attributes enabled PCBDA@AgNPs-MF to effectively disinfect the model and natural bacteria-contaminated water.

Abstract
The copper tannic acid (CuTA) nanosheets with an excellent antibacterial activity were successfully prepared, which showed fine antibacterial and antifouling performance after hybridization with acrylic resin. The morphology and structure characterization of CuTA nanosheets were studied by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, etc. The plate counting method, zone of inhibition test, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method were used to detect the antibacterial activity of the prepared samples against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli). The results showed that the killing rates of 2 and 0.5 mg/mL of CuTA powder were close to 100% after 24 h. The MIC values of E. coli and B. subtilis were 0.25 and 0.5 mg/mL, respectively. The results of morphology and element distribution of bacteria, after treating with CuTA powder, revealed that Cu2+ and TA destroyed their cell walls and inhibited the proliferation and growth of the bacteria. Furthermore, the hybrid coating of CuTA nanosheets and acrylic resin showed brilliant antimicrobial performance for E. coli and B. subtilis and antialgae properties under a lower CuTA load (≤5%). The CuTA nanosheets with a low copper content (30.9 wt %) and low pollution have promising applications in marine antifouling coatings.
