“…9,11,12 Strong surface hydration was found to act as a barrier against biomolecules, preventing them from being adsorbed on submerged surfaces. 11,12 Hence, strong surface hydration is generally regarded as a crucial factor in the design of effective fouling-resistant coating materials. 4,11,13 Zwitterionic materials, which contain equally charged positive and negative moieties, have emerged as highly effective ultralow fouling materials for biomedical and engineering applications.…”
