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 …

Though the history of mankind, we are strongly fighting with infected diseases that are
induced by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other pathogens. Although a variety of medicines …

With the aging of population and the rapid improvement of public health and medical level in
recent years, people have had an increasing demand for orthopedic implants. However …

Antibacterial coatings that eliminate initial bacterial attachment and prevent subsequent
biofilm formation are essential in a number of applications, especially implanted medical …

The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (ie, materiobiology) plays an increasingly
pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue …

Global health is increasingly being threatened by the rapid emergence of drug-resistant
microbes. The ability of these microbes to form biofilms has further exacerbated the scenario …

The interaction of bacteria with surfaces has important implications in a range of areas,
including bioenergy, biofouling, biofilm formation, and the infection of plants and animals …

Contamination of biomedical devices in a biological medium, biofouling, is a major cause of
infection and is entirely avoidable. This mini-review will coherently present the broad range …

Zwitterionic polymers are generally viewed as a new class of nonfouling materials. Unlike
their poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) counterparts, zwitterionic polymers have a broader …

This article describes the state of the art in the field of antimicrobial polymeric systems during
the last decade. Keeping in mind the multitude of existing systems, a classification of the …
