Peptides block copolymer formation

Peptide-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block copolymers are ofparticiflar interest, both from a structural and a functional point of view. Poly(ethylene glycol) is also often referred to as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEG). Throughout this article, however, this polyether will be referred to as PEG. In contrast to the hybrid block copolymers discussed in the previous paragraphs, which were based on amorphous synthetic polymers, PEG is a semi-crystalline polymer. In addition to microphase separation and the tendency of the peptide blocks towards aggregation, crystallization of PEG introduces an additional factor that can influence the structure formation of these hybrid block copolymers, furthermore, PEG is an FDA approved biocompatible polymer, which makes peptide-PEG hybrid block copolymers potentially interesting materials for biomedical applications. [Pg.93]
