Summary:Homopolymers of -lactams can be grown by surface-initiated polymerization. These surface-linked -peptides are living polymers with the potential to be utilized as tunable, protease-resistant interfaces in multiphase structural composites where the characteristics of the interface influence bulk properties. Homopolymers of -lactams covalently linked to glass and silica surfaces are grown by base catalyzed surface-initiated polymerization, yielding particles coated with -peptides terminated in a reactive end group.
