Disclosed are an organic ion conductive polymer gel elastomer including a polymer matrix; a plasticizing solvent impregnated into the polymer matrix to plasticize the polymer matrix so that the polymer matrix is in a gel state; and an ion conductive dopant ionized by the plasticizing solvent and dispersed in the polymer matrix, wherein the plasticizing solvent and the ion conductive dopant are non-hydrophilic, and a method of preparing the organic ion conductive polymer gel elastomer.

Durable, anti-fouling, crosslinked zwitterionic coatings that are grafted to the surface of a substrate through covalent bonding are disclosed. When exposed to a light source, zwitterionic monomers react with a crosslinker and with activated radicals at the surface of the substrate, simultaneously forming the crosslinked zwitterionic coating and anchoring it to the surface of the substrate. Photomasking techniques can be used to micropattern the zwitterionic coatings. The zwitterionic coatings can be applied to a variety of substrates, including medical devices and systems.
