Bioinspired Poly(2-oxazoline)s
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poly(2-oxazoline)s are regarded as pseudopeptides, thus bioinspired polymers, due to their structural relationship to polypeptides. Materials and solution properties can be tuned by varying the side-chain (hydrophilic-hydrophobic, chiral, bioorganic, etc.), opening the way to advanced stimulus-responsive materials and complex colloidal structures. The bioinspired ―smart‖ solution and aggregation behavior of poly(2-oxazoline)s in aqueous environments are discussed in this review.
