Zwitterionic polymers are important in a wide range of industrial, biological and medical fields. Their chemical structures include an equal amount of anion and cation groups, and such structures give rise to many unique functionalities, such as temperature response, anti-polyelectrolyte effect, and strong hydration properties. In this review, we focus on the structures and applications of functional zwitterionic polymers on surfaces. We review three areas of applications according to the architecture of the polymeric systems: surface coating, complex solutions, and hydrogel. We review the simulation and theory work and highlight some outlooks for further development.
两性离子聚合物在广泛的工业、生物和医学领域都很重要。它们的化学结构包含等量的阴离子和阳离子基团，这种结构赋予了它们许多独特的功能，如温度响应、抗聚电解质效应和强水合性质。在这篇综述中，我们重点介绍了功能两性离子聚合物在表面的结构和应用。根据聚合物体系的结构，我们综述了三个应用领域：表面涂层、复杂溶液和水凝胶。我们综述了模拟和理论工作，并强调了进一步发展的一些展望。
