Another class of rod-coil systems with helical rod segments is derived from amylose as one block. Most copolymer systems with amylose as one segment are based on an enzymatic grafting from polymerization with potato phosphorylase which was pioneered by Beate Pfannemiiller. Linear, star, and comblike polymers carrying amylose chains were reported by Pfannemiiller et al. [122-125]. Stadler and coworkers reported rod-coil systems composed of amylose blocks with polysiloxanes [126,127] (comblike structures) and polystyrene [128] (blocklike structures). Comblike structures based on polystyrene with amylose entities were synthesized by Kobayashi et al. [129].
