All the possible conjugation mechanisms and reactions for this promising dopamine and zwitterion conjugations are discussed and how this conjugated system significantly contributes to the development of non-fouling surfaces along with the other applications.
Abstract
<jats:p>Conjugation of zwitterionic polymer with dopamine is a promising approach to endow the surface with antifouling properties for medical devices, biosensors and marine coating applications<jats:italic>etc</jats:italic>. Zwitterionic polymers can be conjugated with dopamine by mostly four methods.</jats:p>
