Abstract
A zwitterionic material includes a substrate including a first polymer, and a second polymer bonded to the first polymer. The second polymer includes a zwitterionic component. Making the zwitterionic material includes coating a polymerizable material on a substrate, and polymerizing the polymerizable material, thereby bonding a second polymer to the substrate, wherein the second polymer comprises the zwitterionic component. The substrate includes the first polymer, and the polymerizable material includes the zwitterionic component.
