Fundamentals and applications of zwitterionic antifouling polymers (2019, methodology): “The resulting membranes achieved 15% of fibrinogen adsorption and 45% of protein adsorption from undiluted human plasma solution as compared with the virgin PVDF [109].”
Structures and Synthesis of Zwitterionic Polymers (2014, methodology): “A particularly fertile aspect of the evolving RDRP methods for polyzwitterions has been the possibility to control “grafting-from” processes on surfaces [33,35,129,165,186,187,195,199,202,250–303].”
A facile strategy to enhance PVDF ultrafiltration membrane performance via self-polymerized polydopamine followed by hydrolysis of ammonium fluotitanate (2014, background): “Therefore, many active works have been carried out such as physical blending [9,16–24], chemical grafting and surface modification [4,25–30] to improve the hydrophilicity of PVDF membranes.”

Progress in the production and modification of PVDF membranes (2011, background): “Therefore, surface segregation of self-organising mphiphilic copolymers would appear to be a surface modifica- er PVDF-g-POEM or PVDF-g-PMAA by ATRP [182]. tion approach capable of simultaneously satisfying all the desired criteria: (a) sufficient coverage of the internal pore channels as well as th”
