Abstract
Provided herein are peptide amphiphiles comprising a β-sheet forming peptide sequence conjugated to two or more vinylidene fluoride (VDF) monomers, and nanoscale ferroelectric structures comprising the same.
Claims20
A peptide amphiphile comprising a β-sheet forming peptide sequence conjugated to a poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) comprising two or more vinylidene fluoride (VDF) monomers.
A nanoscale ferroelectric structure comprising a plurality of self-assembled peptide amphiphiles, wherein each peptide amphiphile independently comprises a β-sheet forming peptide sequence conjugated to a poly(vinylidene)fluoride comprising two or more vinylidene fluoride (VDF) monomers.
