Nanomaterials self-assembled from amphiphilic copolymers are of great importance due to their potential applications in nano- and biotechnology. Various self-assembled structures such as vesicles and micelles can be prepared by controlling the composition, structure, and function of these copolymers. Among them, polypeptide-based copolymers recently have attracted increasing interest due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, ordered chain conformation, stimuli-responsiveness, and possibly biological functions. Herein, we report the synthesis and self-assembly of various polypeptide-based copolymers in solution and evaluating their potential applications as encapsulants and carriers. The structure and size of these assemblies were determined by the chain composition and conformation, as well as the amphiphilic nature of these copolymers. |
