Gelation of Helical Polypeptide-Random Coil Diblock Copolymers by a Nanoribbon Mechanism

Thermoreversible gelation of diblock copolymers of a helical polypeptide, poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) and random‐coil polymers such as polyferrocenylsilanes in dilute solution has been discovered (see picture). A new mechanism for self‐assembly of block copolymers of helical polypeptides is proposed....
