The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

New polymeric architectures with (meth)acrylic acid segments (2003, neutral): “Zwitterionic polymers or polyampholytes [82], in which at least two of the blocks are of opposite charge, are interesting synthetic analogues for proteins and therefore are an interesting class of block copolymers.”
Fundamentals and applications of zwitterionic antifouling polymers (2019, background): “Initial studies of these zwitterionic polymers focus primarily on polymer design, synthesis development, and physicochemical characterization, while their corresponding applications mainly target wastewater treatment, ion exchange, pigment retention, and solid conditioning by making use of their ion”
Structures and Synthesis of Zwitterionic Polymers (2014, background): “Inspired by the structure of monomers 1 and 2, four major families 5–8 of aliphatic zwitterionic monomers bearing a sulfobetaine or a carboxybetain moiety have been concentrated on in the literature [4,5,52,53] (Figure 3).”
Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization and the synthesis of water-soluble (co)polymers under homogeneous conditions in organic and aqueous media (2007, methodology): “Polyampholytes Polyampholytes represent the second major class of polyzwitterions [212,213].”
