Abstract
Sandwich culture systems are techniques that cultivate cells by sandwiching them between the top and bottom substrates. Since the substrates can be separated, the system is expected to be applied to the construct layering of patterned cells and to the isolation of stacked cells. In this study, we prepared hydrogels composed of zwitterionic sulfabetaine polymers, poly[2-(2-(methacryloyloxyethyl)dimethylammonio)ethyl-1-sulfate] (PZBMA). The ZBMA homopolymers have been shown to form aggregates in aqueous solutions due to their intermolecular interactions. The water content of the PZBMA hydrogels in water was ∼70% regardless of N,N'-methylenebis(acrylamide), BIS, content as the cross-linker. The results indicated that the intermolecular interaction contributed more to the swelling behaviors than the chemical cross-linker. However, PZBMA hydrogels with 0.1 mol % BIS showed not only high elongation (∼850%) properties but also high adhesiveness and self-healing properties. When this PZBMA hydrogel was impregnated with collagen and subjected to sandwich culture using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, a three-dimensional morphology of MDCK cell aggregates was constructed. Such a sulfabetaine hydrogel is expected to be developed for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
In the last decades, numerous stimuli-responsive polymers have been developed and investigated regarding their switching properties. In particular, thermoresponsive polymers, which form a miscibility gap with the ambient solvent with a lower or upper critical demixing point depending on the temperature, have been intensively studied in solution. For the application of such polymers in novel sensors, drug delivery systems or as multifunctional coatings, they typically have to be transferred into specific arrangements, such as micelles, polymer films or grafted nanoparticles. However, it turns out that the thermodynamic concept for the phase transition of free polymer chains fails, when thermoresponsive polymers are assembled into such sterically confined architectures. Whereas many published studies focus on synthetic aspects as well as individual applications of thermoresponsive polymers, the underlying structure-property relationships governing the thermoresponse of sterically constrained assemblies, are still poorly understood. Furthermore, the clear majority of publications deals with polymers that exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior, with PNIPAAM as their main representative. In contrast, for polymer arrangements with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST), there is only limited knowledge about preparation, application and precise physical understanding of the phase transition. This review article provides an overview about the current knowledge of thermoresponsive polymers with limited mobility focusing on UCST behavior and the possibilities for influencing their thermoresponsive switching characteristics. It comprises star polymers, micelles as well as polymer chains grafted to flat substrates and particulate inorganic surfaces. The elaboration of the physicochemical interplay between the architecture of the polymer assembly and the resulting thermoresponsive switching behavior will be in the foreground of this consideration.

Abstract
The water vapor-induced swelling, as well as subsequent phase-transition kinetics, of thin films of a diblock copolymer (DBC) loaded with different amounts of the salt NaBr, is investigated in situ. In dilute aqueous solution, the DBC features an orthogonally thermoresponsive behavior. It consists of a zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine) block, namely, poly(4-(N-(3'-methacrylamidopropyl)-N,N-dimethylammonio) butane-1-sulfonate) (PSBP), showing an upper critical solution temperature, and a nonionic block, namely, poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) (PNIPMAM), exhibiting a lower critical solution temperature. The swelling kinetics in D2O vapor at 15 °C and the phase transition kinetics upon heating the swollen film to 60 °C and cooling back to 15 °C are followed with simultaneous time-of-flight neutron reflectometry and spectral reflectance measurements. These are complemented by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The collapse temperature of PNIPMAM and the swelling temperature of PSBP are found at lower temperatures than in aqueous solution, which is attributed to the high polymer concentration in the thin-film geometry. Upon inclusion of sub-stoichiometric amounts (relative to the monomer units) of NaBr in the films, the water incorporation is significantly increased. This increase is mainly attributed to a salting-in effect on the zwitterionic PSBP block. Whereas the addition of NaBr notably shifts the swelling temperature of PSBP to lower temperatures, the collapse temperature of PNIPMAM remains unaffected by the presence of salt in the films.

Abstract
In this study, we compared the responses of two different types of zwitterionic polymers (ZPs), polyvinylimidzole sulfobetaine (poly(SBVI)) and polymethacrylate sulfobetaine (poly(SBMA)) to Hofmeister anions. Although the anions of the two ZPs were the same as the sulfonate anions and only the types of their cations were different from each other, the aggregation behavior of each in the salt aqueous solution was remarkably different. Consequently, poly(SBVI) exhibited both salting-in and salting-out effects depending on the type and concentration of salt, while poly(SBMA) only exhibited the anti-polyelectrolyte effect. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the behavior of zwitterionic polymers in salt solutions and will greatly expand their applications.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Synthesis of a new family of polymers having a polydisulfide structure can be conducted from sulfobetaine-based derivative of natural (R)-lipoic acid. A polydisulfide backbone of polymer can be depolymerized by response to external stimuli and sulfobetaine pendant groups ensure the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behaviour temperatures that can be modulated according to the nature of the solvent and concentration. EXPERIMENTS Sulfobetaine-bearing polydisulfides were synthesized from dithiolane derivatives and then characterized. UCST behavior of the polymers in water and in mixtures containing different alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol) was investigated. The regeneration of monomers from the polymers in response to external stimuli was examined using UV-vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Tunable surface wettability were shown on the grafted polymers. FINDINGS Decreasing polarity and/or increasing alcohol percentage in the water mixtures induced an increase in the cloud points of the polymers in the solutions. Thermoresponsive behaviour were repeatable and fully reversible with negligible hysteresis from aggregate to unimer state. The regeneration of monomers by depolymerization was tunable by temperature and sunlight. A thickness dependence on surface wettability was observed on wafers covalently modified with polydisulfides. This is the first report of sulfobetaine-based polydisulfides showing tunable UCST behavior and surface wettability.

Abstract
Amphoteric statistical equivalent copolymers (P(2VP/NaSS) n ) composed of 2-vinylpyridine (2VP) and anionic sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS) were prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The degrees of polymerization (n) were 19 and 95. The monomer reactivity ratio, time conversion profile, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion-ordered spectra suggested that the copolymerization of 2VP and NaSS provided statistical or near to random copolymers. P(2VP/NaSS) n exhibited an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in acidic aqueous solutions on the basis of the charge interactions between the protonated cationic 2VP and anionic NaSS units. With an increase in pH value, the interaction was weakened because of the deprotonation of the 2VP units, thus reducing the UCST. At high [NaCl], the electrostatic interactions among the polymers were weakened because of the screening effect, and again, the UCST was reduced. With an increase in polymer concentration, the intra- and interpolymer interactions increased because of some entanglement, and the UCST consequently increased. Electrostatic interactions among the polymer chains with high molecular weight occurred easier than those among the low-molecular-weight polymer chains, which increased the UCST. The UCST also increased when deuterium oxide was used instead of hydrogen oxide, which was due to the isotopic effect. Hence, the UCST of P(2VP/NaSS) n can be adjusted according to the desired application.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive polymers that possess both UCST- and LCST-like behaviors have generally been designed using diblock copolymers that are mostly composed of an LCST-like polymer and a UCST polymer. Herein, we prepared an LCST-UCST-type polymer composed of UCST-like thermoresponsive zwitterionic sulfabetaine methacrylate and nonthermoresponsive PEG methacrylate, ZB-PEG, by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization. By adjusting the PEG composition, ZB-PEG formed a mesoglobule, a microglobule, and the dissociated states in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). These states were found to be reversible via temperature control. Moreover, this behavior showed high reversibility and succeeded in stabilizing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the dilute condition. Such thermoresponsive ZB-PEG can be applied over a wide range of applications in biotechnology and other fields.

Abstract
Combining high hydrophilicity with charge neutrality, polyzwitterions are intensely explored for their high biocompatibility and low-fouling properties. Recent reports indicated that in addition to charge neutrality, the zwitterion's segmental dipole orientation is an important factor for interacting with the environment. Accordingly, a series of polysulfobetaines with a novel architecture was designed, in which the cationic and anionic groups of the zwitterionic moiety are placed at equal distances from the backbone. They were investigated by in vitro biofouling assays, covering proteins of different charges and model marine organisms. All polyzwitterion coatings reduced the fouling effectively compared to model polymer surfaces of poly(butyl methacrylate), with a nearly equally good performance as the reference polybetaine poly(3-(N-(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)-N,N-dimethylammonio)propanesulfonate). The specific fouling resistance depended on the detailed chemical structure of the polyzwitterions. Still, while clearly affecting the performance, the precise dipole orientation of the sulfobetaine group in the polyzwitterions seems overall to be only of secondary importance for their antifouling behavior.

Abstract
We investigated the kinds of complexes sulfobetaine surfactant and ionic polymer formed using lauramidopropyl hydroxysultane (LAPHS) as a sulfobetaine surfactant, poly(sodium styrenesulfonate) (PSSNa) as the anionic polymer and poly[3-(methacrylamido)propyl trimethylammonium chloride] (PMAPTAC) as the cationic polymer. The fundamental properties of LAPHS at various salt concentrations were estimated by various measurements, and it was confirmed that the LAPHS micelles alone did not show temperature responsiveness. The presence of large aggregates in addition to LAPHS micelles was confirmed in the aggregates prepared by adding PSSNa to LAPHS at a charge ratio of 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2. However, the aggregates could not be formed when the salt concentration was high or when a monomer was added instead of the polymer. This revealed that the cation part of sulfobetaine, which is the shell of LAPHS micelles, and the anion part of PSSNa electrostatically interacted with each other to form a large aggregate. On the other hand, unlike the case of LAPHS micelles alone and the aggregate consisting of LAPHS micelles and PSSNa, the aggregate of LAPHS micelles and PMAPTAC showed an unprecedented phenomenon of "clear → opaque → clear" with increasing concentration in the concentration range above CMC. The change in the transition temperature due to the change of concentration was a factor. Additionally, we confirmed that the transition temperature was lowered when the concentration was higher than CMC or the salt concentration was increased, and the transition temperature was increased when the PMAPTAC with a high degree of polymerization was added. These results suggested that the LAPHS micelles and the ionic polymer form an aggregate, and the temperature responsivity can be expressed by the interaction with the cationic polymer.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 575:480-488.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Macroporous polyampholyte hydrogels, simultaneously bearing both the anionic and cationic groups, demonstrate immense promise over the one-sign charged polyelectrolytes, owing to a unique phenomenon known as the ˝anti-polyelectrolyte˝ effect. Thus, they are extremely promising materials, since they remain solvated and functional even in harsh conditions. Furthermore, macroporous morphology significantly enhances polyampholyte response to external stimuli, since it accelerates the solvent transport through the hydrogel. EXPERIMENTS A new templated-synthesis through "HIPE mixtures" is reported, where the two pre-formed high internal phase emulsions (HIPE) containing the oppositely charged monomers (2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid and (3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride) were combined in the same mould, which after polymerization result in the formation of macroporous monoliths of different structures. The resulting frameworks were either copolymer or dual homopolymers in the form of bilayered or mixed porous structures. FINDINGS The co- and mixed-amphoteric polyelectrolytes exhibit 'anti-polyelectrolyte' behaviour typical of polyampholytes, while the bilayered-structure behaves like a typical polyelectrolyte. Complete and simultaneous removal of both dyes from a dye mixture was observed for the bilayered- and mixed-amphoteric polyelectrolyte, while copoly-ampholyte showed only partial dye adsorption. These results clearly reveal the benefits of a mutual combination of the HIPE-templated structure and the oppositely charged amphoteric nature in one-piece material as a promising avenue toward advanced materials.

Abstract
Bugs, such as microorganisms and insects, are present in the environment and sometimes can be health-hazardous if the living environment is not maintained following proper hygienic regulations. In the present scenario of increasing public awareness, environmental consciousness, and growing demand for easy-care, and disinfected textiles, the manufacturing of protective and easy-to-care textiles has become a key necessity of the modern world. Comfortable, clean, hygienic, antimicrobial, and insect repelling properties of textile goods are gaining the accelerating research momentum as a basic requirement to produce multifunctional textiles. These functional finishes have numerous applications such as in-home textiles, bed nets, and tenting, camping gear as well as in military uniforms. Synthetic antimicrobial and insect repellents are quite effective against insects and microscopic organisms but are slightly toxic to the human being and the environment. To overcome these problems, researchers are considering natural agents for functional finishes, but their effectiveness is less durable to textile material. Besides needful advantages, the excessive use of dyes in finishing processes heavily required washing cycles and ultimately release various types of hazardous dyes or wasteful effluents in the environment. This review reports the chemical composition and recent developments in textile finishes, particularly antimicrobial and insect repellent textile finishes. A large number of commonly used antimicrobial agents (i.e. chitosan, zwitterionic compounds, silver and silver-based compounds, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, imidazolium salts, triclosan and quaternary ammonium salts) and insect repellent textile finishes (i.e. N‑N‑diethyl‑m‑toluamide, permethrin, cypermethrin, pyrethrum, picaridin, bioallethrin, citriodiol and essential oils) have been presented. Finally, the review is wrapped up with major research gaps/challenges, concluding remarks, and future opportunities in this area of research.

Abstract
Copolymaleimide-based zwitterionic polysulfobetaines (PM-SBs) were prepared by a "top down" method for the first time. Interfacial studies of these polymers showed many interesting characteristics. These PM-SBs did not require any salt in the form of sodium chloride (NaCl) to dissolve in water and exhibited exceptional salt tolerance. PM-SBs showed very mild thermogelling behavior. The viscosity of 5 wt % aqueous solution of polymers increased with increasing concentration of salt without showing any limits within the salt concentrations studied [200g/L of NaCl (3.4 M)] in contrast to other reported zwitterionic polysulfobetaines. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies also indicated a structure-dependent particle size with varying concentrations of NaCl solution. The uniformity of particles of 5 wt % aqueous solution of PM-SBs increased with increasing concentration of NaCl. At 0.1 wt % concentration, even in the absence of NaCl, mild aggregation was noticed. The concentration of aggregated particles increased with the increasing concentration of NaCl. Because of the exceptionally high salt tolerance, these polymers are potentially suitable for applications in antifouling, oil field, personal care formulations, and water purification.

Abstract
We address a strategy to graft hydrogels onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics using different acrylate-based monomers. The hydrogel-modified fabrics were prepared by a two-step modification. To this end, double functional groups were firstly introduced onto the PET surface via an aminolysis reaction involving allylamine. The final grafted polymer networks were then obtained after UV-induced radical photopolymerization by varying acrylate monomer types in the presence of a cross-linker. After characterization, the resulting hydrogels showed different morphologies and abrasion resistance performances depending on their chemical nature. UV-photopolymerization is a fast and low-cost method to achieve technical fabrics with specific desired properties.

Abstract
Stabilization of polymer nanocomposites in aqueous environment with high salinity has been a constant challenge for their applications. This work aimed to improve the stability of graphene oxide (GO) polyacrylamide nanocomposites at high-temperature and high-ionic-strength brines. GO was synthesized via a modified Hummers' method and the copolymer of acrylamide (COPAM) was obtained via free-radical polymerization. The covalent functionalization of COPAM with the partially reduced GO (rGO) was successfully achieved. 1,3-Propane sultone was used to further functionalize the obtained rGO-COPAM composites to accomplish the zwitterionic character on the rGO-COPAM surface to get a material with excellent temperature stability and dispersibility in the presence of high ionic strength brines. The synthesized materials were characterized by 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy analysis, and so forth. The thermal stability of the dispersion at 80 °C for 120 days was observed by visual inspection and spectroscopic analysis. The results showed that the zwitterionic polymer produced excellent brine stability with GO nanosheets and suggested promising applications of zwitterionic polyacrylamide-GO systems especially for enhanced oil recovery.

Abstract
A procedure for the preparation of copolymers bearing sulfobetaine and carboxybetaine methacrylic-based monomers by free-radical polymerization is described and discussed. A combination of monomers affects the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in water and in the presence of a simple NaCl electrolyte while retaining the zwitterionic character. In addition, hydrogel samples were prepared and showed tunable water structure and mechanical properties. The total nonfreezable water content decreases with the amount of carboxybetaine segment in the hydrogel feed and the compression moduli were in a range of 0.7-1.6 MPa. Responses to external conditions such as temperature and ion strength were investigated and a potential application such as modulated thermal detection is proposed. The presence of the carboxylate group in the carboxybetaine segment enables a small fluorescence probe and peptide bearing RDG motif to be attached to polymer and hydrogel samples, respectively. The hydrogel samples functionalized with the RGD motif exhibit controlled cell adhesion. Such synthetic strategy based on combination of different zwitterionic segments offers a simple pathway for the development of zwitterionic materials with programmable properties.

Abstract
Commercially available azo dyes bearing amino groups were grafted to zwitterionic copolymers composed of cyclic anhydride functionality. The zwitterionic copolymers were prepared for the first time by polymerizing sulfobetaine (SB) monomer with maleic anhydride (MA) under conventional free radical polymerization as well as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Poly(SB- co-MA) self-assembled in deionized water. Azobenzene grafted zwitterionic poly((SB- co-MA)- g-Azo) exhibited multiresponsive behavior. As confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy, trans → cis isomerization of the azo group was responsible for the photo- and thermal responsive behavior. The photoisomerization was reversible, and no photoaging was detected during the repeated exposure to UV and visible light. The water-soluble nature of photoresponsive azo dye grafted copolymers makes it suitable for applications in biological systems.

Abstract
In recent years, clinical applications have been proposed for various hydrogel products. Hydrogels can be derived from animal tissues, plant extracts and/or adipose tissue extracellular matrices; each type of hydrogel presents significantly different functional properties and may be used for many different applications, including medical therapies, environmental pollution treatments, and industrial materials. Due to complicated preparation techniques and the complexities associated with the selection of suitable materials, the applications of many host-guest supramolecular polymeric hydrogels are limited. Thus, improvements in the design and construction of smart materials are highly desirable in order to increase the lifetimes of functional materials. Here, we summarize different functional hydrogels and their varied preparation methods and source materials. The multifunctional properties of hydrogels, particularly their unique ability to adapt to certain environmental stimuli, are chiefly based on the incorporation of smart materials. Smart materials may be temperature sensitive, pH sensitive, pH/temperature dual sensitive, photoresponsive or salt responsive and may be used for hydrogel wound repair, hydrogel bone repair, hydrogel drug delivery, cancer therapy, and so on. This review focuses on the recent development of smart hydrogels for tissue engineering applications and describes some of the latest advances in using smart materials to create hydrogels for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The hydrolytic stability of polymers to be used for coatings in aqueous environments, for example, to confer anti-fouling properties, is crucial. However, long-term exposure studies on such polymers are virtually missing. In this context, we synthesized a set of nine polymers that are typically used for low-fouling coatings, comprising the well-established poly(oligoethylene glycol methylether methacrylate), poly(3-(N-2-methacryloylethyl-N,N-dimethyl) ammoniopropanesulfonate) ("sulfobetaine methacrylate"), and poly(3-(N-3-methacryamidopropyl-N,N-dimethyl)ammoniopropanesulfonate) ("sulfobetaine methacrylamide") as well as a series of hitherto rarely studied polysulfabetaines, which had been suggested to be particularly hydrolysis-stable. Hydrolysis resistance upon extended storage in aqueous solution is followed by ¹H NMR at ambient temperature in various pH regimes. Whereas the monomers suffered slow (in PBS) to very fast hydrolysis (in 1 M NaOH), the polymers, including the polymethacrylates, proved to be highly stable. No degradation of the carboxyl ester or amide was observed after one year in PBS, 1 M HCl, or in sodium carbonate buffer of pH 10. This demonstrates their basic suitability for anti-fouling applications. Poly(sulfobetaine methacrylamide) proved even to be stable for one year in 1 M NaOH without any signs of degradation. The stability is ascribed to a steric shielding effect. The hemisulfate group in the polysulfabetaines, however, was found to be partially labile.

Abstract
Some polyzwitterionic brushes exhibit a strong "anti-polyelectrolyte effect" and ionic specificity that make them versatile platforms to build smart surfaces for many applications. However, the structure-property relationship of zwitterionic polymer brushes still remains to be elucidated. Herein, we aim to study the structure-dependent relationship between different zwitterionic polymers and the anti-polyelectrolyte effect. To this end, a series of polyzwitterionic brushes with different cationic moieties (e.g., imidazolium, ammonium, and pyridinium) in their monomeric units and with different carbon spacer lengths (e.g., CSL = 1, 3, and 4) between the cation and anion were designed and synthesized to form polymer brushes via the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. All zwitterionic brushes were carefully characterized for their surface morphologies, compositions, wettability, and film thicknesses by atomic force microscopy, contact angle measurement, and ellipsometry, respectively. The salt-responsiveness of all zwitterionic brushes to surface hydration and friction was further examined and compared both in water and in salt solutions with different salt concentrations and counterion types. The collective data showed that zwitterionic brushes with different cationic moieties and shorter CSLs in salt solution induced higher surface friction and lower surface hydration than those in water, exhibiting strong anti-polyelectrolyte effect salt-responsive behaviors. By tuning the CSLs, cationic moieties, and salt concentrations and types, the surface wettability can be changed from a highly hydrophobic surface (∼60°) to a highly hydrophilic surface (∼9°), while interfacial friction can be changed from ultrahigh friction (μ ≈ 4.5) to superior lubrication (μ ≈ 10-3). This work provides important structural insights into how subtle structural changes in zwitterionic polymers can yield great changes in the salt-responsive properties at the interface, which could be used for the development of smart surfaces for different applications.

Abstract
Polymer zwitterions are generally regarded as hydrophilic and repellant or "slippery" materials. Here, a case is described in which the polymer zwitterion structure is tailored to decrease water solubility, stabilize emulsion droplets, and promote interdroplet adhesion. Harnessing the upper critical solution temperature of sulfonium- and ammonium-based polymer zwitterions in water, adhesive droplets are prepared by adding organic solvent to an aqueous polymer solution at elevated temperature, followed by agitation to induce emulsification. Droplet aggregation is observed as the mixture cools. Variation of salt concentration, temperature, polymer concentration, and polymer structure modulates these interdroplet interactions, resulting in distinct changes in emulsion stability and fluidity. Under attractive conditions, emulsions encapsulating 50-75% oil undergo gelation. By contrast, emulsions prepared under conditions where droplets are nonadhesive remain fluid and, for oil fractions exceeding 0.6, coalescence is observed. The uniquely reactive nature of the selected zwitterions allows their in situ modification and affords a route to chemically trigger deaggregation and droplet dispersion. Finally, experiments performed in a microfluidic device, in which droplets are formed under conditions that either promote or suppress adhesion, confirm the salt-responsive character of these emulsions and the persistence of adhesive interdroplet interactions under flow.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Development of smart regenerative surface is a highly challenging but important task for many scientific and industrial applications. Specifically, very limited research efforts were made for surface regeneration between bio-adhesion and antifouling properties, because bioadhesion and antifouling are the two highly desirable but completely opposite properties of materials. Herein, we developed salt-responsive polymer brushes of poly(3-(1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-3-yl) propane-1-sulfonate) (polyVBIPS), which can be switched reversibly and repeatedly between protein capture/release and surface wettability in a controllable manner. PolyVBIPS brush has demonstrated its switching ability to resist both protein adsorption from 100% blood plasma/serum and bacterial attachment in multiple cycles. PolyVBIPS brush also exhibits reversible surface wettability from ∼40° to 25° between in PBS and in 1M NaCl solutions in multiple cycles. Overall, the salt-responsive behaviors of polyVBIPS brushes can be interpreted by the "anti-polyelectrolyte effect", i.e. polyVBIPS brushes adopt a collapsed chain conformation at low ionic strengths to achieve surface adhesive, but an extended chain conformation at high ionic strength to realize antifouling properties. We expect that polyVBIPS will provide a simple, robust, and promising system for the fabrication of smart surfaces with biocompatible, reliable, and regenerative properties. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Unlike many materials with "one-time switching" capability for surface regeneration, we developed a new regenerative surface of zwitterionic polymer brush, which exhibits a reversible salt-induced switching property between a biomolecule-adhesive state and a biomolecule repellent state in complex media for multiple cycles. PolyVBIPS is easily synthesized and can be straightforward coated on the surface, which provides a simple, robust, and promising system for the fabrication of smart surfaces with biocompatible, reliable, regenerative properties.

Abstract
Gel electrolytes have attracted increasing attention for solid-state supercapacitors. An ideal gel electrolyte usually requires a combination of advantages of high ion migration rate, reasonable mechanical strength and robust water retention ability at the solid state for ensuring excellent work durability. Here we report a zwitterionic gel electrolyte that successfully brings the synergic advantages of robust water retention ability and ion migration channels, manifesting in superior electrochemical performance. When applying the zwitterionic gel electrolyte, our graphene-based solid-state supercapacitor reaches a volume capacitance of 300.8 F cm(-3) at 0.8 A cm(-3) with a rate capacity of only 14.9% capacitance loss as the current density increases from 0.8 to 20 A cm(-3), representing the best value among the previously reported graphene-based solid-state supercapacitors, to the best of our knowledge. We anticipate that zwitterionic gel electrolyte may be developed as a gel electrolyte in solid-state supercapacitors.

Abstract
Both ion-specific interaction and carbon spacer length have strong effects on the properties of polyzwitterions. In this work, we have investigated the anion specificity of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylamide) (PSBMAm) brushes with different carbon spacer lengths. The effectiveness of anions to enhance the hydration of the PSBMAm brushes increases from kosmotropic to chaotropic anions. The interactions between the anions and the PSBMAm brushes are strongly influenced by carbon spacer length because the strength of inter/intrachain association of the PSBMAm brushes decreases with increasing carbon spacer length. The inter/intrachain association of the PSBMAm brushes with a longer carbon spacer is easier to break by the external anions in the high salt concentration regime. On the other hand, a longer carbon spacer is more favorable for the zwitterionic groups to form cyclic intramolecular structures. As a result, the addition of anions can more effectively enhance the hydration of the PSBMAm brushes with a medium-length carbon spacer compared with that of the PSBMAm brushes with a either shorter or longer carbon spacer in the low salt concentration regime, determined by the balance between the inter/intrachain association and the formation of cyclic intramolecular structures. Our study also demonstrates that both anion identity and carbon spacer length can be used to control protein adsorption on the surface of the PSBMAm brushes.
