Background and Objective: Zwitterionic polymer electrolyte has been successfully synthesized using NH4PF6 salt. The conductivity of the synthesized polymer membrane is found to be of the order of 10-3Scm-1. Dielectric and Modulus properties of the polymer electrolyte have also been studied which showed well relaxation peaks with both temperature and salt concentrations. Result: This is well depicted with the loss tangent curve. Debye type relaxation behavior has observed from the electric modulus. Conclusion: Frequency dependent conductivity data (fitted with Jonscher's power law equation) confirmed the presence of NCL/SLPL type behavior in the studied frequency range.

Zwitterionic polymers are suitable for replacing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymers because of their better antifouling properties, but zwitterionic polymers have poor mechanical properties, strong water absorption, and their homopolymers should not be used directly. To solve these problems, a reversible-addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization process was used to prepare copolymers comprised of zwitterionic side chains that were attached to an ITO glass substrate using spin-casting. The presence of 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) and zwitterion chains on these polymer-coated ITO surfaces was confirmed using 1H NMR, FTIR, and GPC analyses, with successful surface functionalization confirmed using water contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. Changes in water contact angles and C/O ratios (XPS) analysis demonstrated that the functionalization of these polymers with β-propiolactone resulted in hydrophilic mixed 4VP/zwitterionic polymers. Protein adsorption and cell attachment assays were used to optimize the ratio of the zwitterionic component to maximize the antifouling properties of the polymer brush surface. This work demonstrated that the antifouling surface coatings could be readily prepared using a “P4VP-modified” method, that is, the functionality of P4VP to modify the prepared zwitterionic polymer. We believe these materials are likely to be useful for the preparation of biomaterials for biosensing and diagnostic applications.
