Recent studies have revealed that certain novel peptides, which were selected from a peptide library, bound specifically to artificial material surfaces of inorganic crystals and nanocarbons. In this project, peptides that specifically binds to structurally regular polymers will be selected from the phage display library. The peptide motifs essential for the binding to polymers will be revealed, and then the motifs will be built-up to bind more strongly to the polymers. The resulting peptide nanomaterials will have potential applications such as polymerization catalysts, peptide-surfactants, and surface-modifiers.
