| The design and synthesis of multifunctionalized, architecturally controlled materials is a prerequisite for a variety of future applications. Based on Nature's use of self-assembly in the creation of biomaterials, the presentation will describe concepts that are being developed that utilize noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, electrostatic interactions, metal coordination, and pi-pi stacking in the controlled functionalization and modification of side- and main-chain copolymers as well as oligopeptides to obtain multi-functional polymeric materials, induce polymer morphology changes, design peptide-based nanostructures and to influence bulk-polymer properties. |
