Background:

Zwitterionic hydrogels offer superior nonfouling and hemocompatibility for biomedical applications.
Current limitations include harsh preparation conditions and poor coating stability, hindering practical use.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust, easily applicable zwitterionic hydrogel coating for biomedical devices.
To overcome the challenges of harsh preparation and weak stability in existing antifouling coatings.

Main Methods:

A two-component zwitterionic hydrogel paint was formulated, utilizing a ring-opening reaction between epoxy and amino groups for simultaneous curing and adhesion.
The hydrogel paint was applied in situ to various substrate surfaces without UV assistance.
Coating stability was tested under high water flow velocities (up to 15 m/s).

Main Results:

The developed zwitterionic hydrogel coating (AB-type PSBMA) demonstrated exceptional stability under water flow.
The preparation process was solvent-free, simplifying postprocessing for medical device applications.
The coating effectively resisted bacterial and cell adhesion while maintaining hemocompatibility.

Conclusions:

This novel two-component hydrogel paint provides a facile and effective method for creating robust, antifouling zwitterionic hydrogel coatings.
The approach offers a promising strategy for advancing the development of advanced coatings for biomedical devices.
