The structures and synthesis of polyzwitterions (“polybetaines”) are reviewed, emphasizing
the literature of the past decade. Particular attention is given to the general challenges …

This review summarizes mostly the literature data accumulated during the last decade on
betaine-type polyampholytes. Synthetic pathways to polybetaines consisting of radical …

We investigate the water-solubility upon salt additions, of homogeneous families of
sulfobetaine-based polyzwitterions. These polymers bear both positive ammonium, and …

Oily wastewater from industries has an adverse impact on the environment, human and
aquatic life. Poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) membrane modified with a zwitterionic …

Post-synthetic modification has been the most powerful strategy for covalent organic
frameworks (COFs) for their functionalization in many fields. This strategy is typically …

Recent progress in the field of zwitterionic polyelectrolytes is reviewed. This class of
polyelectrolytes is only five decades old, since the first synthesis was in 1952 …

Cyclopolymerization of diallylammonioethanoate [(H 2 Cdouble bondCHsingle bondCH 2) 2
NH+ CH 2 CO 2−] afforded polyzwitterion (PZ) PZ-3800, PZ-4600 and PZ-6150 having …

Conventional artificial nanochannels have obvious shortcomings in permeability regulation
and environmental friendliness, which challenge their practical applications. Polymer …

Hydrophobically substituted diallylamines bearing a hexyl, dodecyl, or octadecyl chain were
synthesized and homopolymerized as hydrochlorides. Copolymerization of the diallylamines …

A novel cross-linked acidic tetrapolymer (CPZA) was synthesized via the
cyclopolymerization of different zwitterionic monomers bearing amino, carboxylate …
