Peptide Hybrid Polymers

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 202))

Abstract

The aggregation behaviour of biomimetic polypeptide hybrid copolymers and copolypeptides is here reviewed with a particular eye on the occurrence of secondary structure effects. Structure elements like α-helix or β-sheet can induce a deviation from the “classical” phase behaviour and promote the formation of vesicles or hierarchical superstructures with ordering in the length-scale of microns. Polypeptide copolymers are therefore considered as models to study self-assembly processes in biological systems. In addition, they offer a great potential for a production of novel advanced materials and colloids.
