Peptoid Biomaterials

Materials that can be conveniently tuned to present the bio-chemical, morphological and mechanical features of native biological systems are of special interest to the fields of biomaterials and biointerfaces. The incorporation of targeting elements minimizes the potential of negative systemic effects, an important translational consideration. These ideas have inspired significant research in peptoid biomaterials as well as the chemical functionalization of both naturally-derived and synthetic polymers.
