Morphological Variation of Peptide-synthetic Hybrid Block Copolymer Assemblies in Nonaqueous Media
In this communication, we demonstrate that significantly different aggregation morphologies are readily generated from a simple poly(gamma-benzyl L-glutamate)/polystyrene hybrid block copolymer in nonaqueous media. These nanostructural variations were governed basically by both the solubility of each block to solvents and the character of the polypeptide block such as helix rod coil transition.
