1. A method of coating a substrate, comprising:
exposing at least one surface of a NO-donor substrate to a polymer, wherein the polymer has a structure according to the following formula:
![]() where each occurrence of Z is a zwitterionic moiety:
where, in each instance, either (i) A1 is none and A2 is ═O or (ii) A1 is a covalent bond to the at least one surface of the substrate and A2 is —OH;
where each occurrence of R1 is independently a covalent bond or a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl diradical having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms;
where each occurrence of R2, R3, and R4 is independently a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; and
where a, b, and c are real number such that 0<a<1, 0≤b<1, 0<c<1, and a+b+c=1, and
exposing the polymer to light energy, thereby causing the polymer to covalently attach to the at least one surface of the NO-donor substrate to form the coating on the NO-donor substrate.
