L-carnitine Derived Zwitterionic Betaine Materials.

ABSTRACT: An L-carnitine derived zwitterionic betaine material was developed. The synthesized L-carnitineMA was the first zwitterionic betaine monomer from natural feedstocks. In the models of Surface coating and hydrogel, the L-carnitineMA material was able to achieve superior anti-fouling performance as good as state-of-the-art zwitterionic betaine materials.
