In recent years, zwitterionic materials have been widely used in biomedical and nanomedical due to their unique structure which the molecule is electrically neutral with equal positive negative charge. This kind of material could form a thick hydration layer by electrostatic effect, prevent contamination, show wide applications life science fields, such as resisting non-specific protein adsorption, biofilm, thrombosis formation, so on. Most importantly, diversity functional groups has made it more convenient for surface modification further utilization, creating multifunctional various applications. review summarized up-to-date materials, including conventional novel structural characteristics, well blood-contacting implantable devices, antibacterial coatings, wound dressings, drug-targeted carriers, smart wearable biosensors, especially clinical uses. New discoveries, existing challenges, commercial status are also outlined, future opportunities development perspectives new biomaterials demonstrated.
