Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is also an interesting strategy to construct peptide-polymer hybrid ID-arrays. Graft-polymerization of AT-isopropylacrylamide was carried out from the surface of self-assembled peptide nanotube in water, and as a result, cyclicpeptide-poly(f -isopropyl-acrylamide) hybrid nanotube was successfully prepared (Fig. 19) [61]. fii other words, this research indicates that surface chemistry of ID-peptide nano-assembly can be adjusted by the grafted synthetic polymers, such as thermo-sensitive PNIPAM and polyelectrolytes.
