The self-association of ELPs is starting to be employed to develop different applications. For example, Molina el al. [127] have tested self-assembled nano- and microparticles of poly(VPAVG), another version of ELP, as carriers of the model drug dexamethasone phosphate in order to develop injectable systems for controlled drug release. In these particles, the drug is entrapped while the particles self-assemble as the temperature rises above its Tt. 

In some cases, devices have a volume element having a larger diameter than the nano element arranged in epitaxial connection to the nano element. The volume element is being doped in order to provide a high charge carrier injection into the nano element and a low access resistance in an electrical cormection. The nano element may be upstanding from a semiconductor substrate. A concentric layer of low resistivity material forms on the volume element forms a contact [65],...
