Abstract

Bioinspired modular synthesis of elastin-mimic polymers (EMPs) is achieved via Cu- catalyzed alkyne-azide cyclization (CuAAC). By changing the module, EMPs with different secondary structures determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectra in trifluoroethanol (TFE) solution are obtained. The EMPs are characterized by measuring the lower critical solution temperatures (LSCTs) and the bulk mechanic properties under the conditions of both dry ...
