Abstract: A polyelectrolyte hydrogel coating with strong substrate binding performance and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes: 1) activating a substrate by applying oxygen plasma; and 2) dissolving a polycationic polymer, a polymeric monomer, a silane coupling agent and an initiator to obtain a precursor solution, vacuumizing the precursor solution to remove air bubbles, applying the vacuumized precursor solution to a surface of the substrate activated by the oxygen plasma, and performing an in-situ polymerization and curing process under nitrogen or rare gas atmosphere. The polymeric monomer includes at least one of: acrylamide, acrylic acid, hydroxyethyl methacrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid, polyethylene glycol (diol) diacrylate, 2-methacryloxyethylphosphocholine, 3-[[2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylammonio]propane-1-sulfonate, and 3-[[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylammonium] propionate.
