Zwitterionic polymers have attracted considerable attention because of their anti-adsorption and unique anti-polyelectrolyte effects and was widely used in surface modification. In this study, zwitterionic copolymers (poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) (pSB) coating on the surface of a hydroxylated titanium sheet using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) was successfully constructed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Water contact angle (WCA) analysis proved the successful preparation of the coating. The swelling effect caused by the anti-polyelectrolyte effect was reflected in the simulation experiment in vitro, and this coating can promote the proliferation and osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1. Therefore, this study provides a new strategy for designing multifunctional biomaterials for implant surface modifications.
