Building structured, functional materials inspired by nature: Using peptides, peptoids, and polymerizations
Brian J. Montz,
Todd Emrick
Abstract:The assembly of peptide and peptide‐inspired building blocks into functional, well‐defined, multi‐length scale materials represents an exciting, rapidly expanding research field that bridges the principles of polymer science and engineering with a tremendous breadth of biomolecular interactions. The advantageous features of peptides, including their biocompatibility, functional diversity, and high purity, are complemented by the breadth of potential applications that may arise from their resultant structures a… Show more
