Hybrid materials based drug delivery systems

One of the earliest approaches to creating polymer-peptide hybrid materials was based on the introduction of peptide moieties in the polymer side chain [11]. These architectures have been of particular interest for the development of drug delivery systems with a high loading capacity as well as for systems in which case the bioactivity is related to having multiple copies of a peptide in close proximity of each other.
