Abstract
Bio-inspired materials have received increasing interest due to significant advantages combining both the sequence specificity of biopolymers with the simpler intra/intermolecular interactions and improved stability and processability. Peptoids are a particularly promising class of bio-inspired polymer based on an N-substituted glycine backbone with hundreds of chemically diverse side chains introduced from simple building blocks. Two distinct synthetic techniques offer different levels of control over the structures, which make peptoids a promising platform to investigate new materials in both their structure and properties. In this chapter we review recent development of peptoids and their applications in biomedicine and nanotechology.
