Energy Barriers: Functional and Well‐Defined β‐Sheet‐Assembled Porous Spherical Shells by Surface‐Guided Peptide Formation (Adv. Funct. Mater. 21/2015). (June 2015) - Wibowo, Steven Harris
Abstract : H‐bonded peptide β‐sheet‐assembled porous shells are prepared by a simple, rapid, and robust bottom‐up strategy involving controlled surface‐initiated ring‐opening polymerization. As reported by G. G. Qiao and co‐workers on page 3147, the exploitation of the hollow shells by non‐covalent interactions demonstrates the ability to entrap small molecules, nanoparticles, proteins, drugs, and polymers to form functional materials for various potential applications.
