TL;DR: By comparing both results of polySBMA and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), it is found that the hydrated water molecules on the SB unit are more tightly bound than on the ethylene glycol (EG) unit before saturation, and the additional water molecules after forming the hydration layer inpolySBMA solutions show higher freedom than those in PEG.

TL;DR: This work provides new evidence to demonstrate the existence of interactions between PEG and proteins in aqueous solution, which is important not only for better understanding of the structure-activity relationship of PEG both in solution and on surfaces, but also for the rational design of new PEG-based materials for specific applications.

TL;DR: It is believed that the method developed could be also applied to investigate various interactions between macromolecules and other small molecules without using deuterium samples, which might open a novel route to quantitatively measure guest-host interactions in the future.

TL;DR: Collective results indicate that SBMA hydrogels promote full-thickness excisional acute wound regeneration in mice by enhancing angiogenesis, decreasing inflammation response, and modulating macrophage polarization, which improved the overall wound healing efficiency as compared to pure PEG hydrogel.

TL;DR: In this paper, a zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (pSBMA) is grafted on the surface of an aromatic polyamide membrane to improve membrane fouling using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP).
