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 …

When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of
biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in critical care to manage patients
with severe respiratory and cardiac failure. ECMO brings blood from a critically ill patient into …

The word “biocompatibility,” is inconsistent with the observations of healing for so‐called
biocompatible biomaterials. The vast majority of the millions of medical implants in humans …

Zwitterionic polymers coating shows significant advantages in preventing thrombosis for the
treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, their limited bio-functionality and low …

Bacterial infections associated with biomedical devices and implants have posed a great
challenge to global healthcare systems. These infections are mainly caused by bacterial …

Zwitterionic polymers have shown promising results in non-fouling and preventing
thrombosis. However, the lack of controlled surface coverage hinders their application for …

It is yet a query that whether chemically heterogeneous superwetting surface is able to
enhance the permeability and anti-fouling capability of membrane contemporaneously …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has excellent physical–chemical properties and good
biocompatibility. Thus, PDMS has been widely applied in biomedical applications. However …

Blood contact with high surface area medical devices, such as dialysis and extracorporeal
life support (ECLS), induces rapid surface coagulation. Systemic anticoagulation, such as …
