Abstract
cytotoxicity. Therefore, the synthesis of topological polymers with precise structures has become an inevitable requirement for the development of materials and their biomedical applications. The article mainly reviews the properties and application of zwitterionic polymers and their derivatives with different topological structures. In particular, the recent progress of these polymers in drug delivery, antitumor properties, biomedical diagnosis and antifouling coatings are described and introduced. Finally, the current problems in these applications are discussed, and the potential research prospects of zwitterionic-based topological polymers in current research are put forward.
