Specifically selected peptide–polymer conjugates, applied for inorganic–organic interface compatibilization , lead to stiffer and tougher materials. The concept is based on the sequence‐specific interaction of a peptide with inorganic surfaces and utilizes the idea of interface management of natural materials such as bone and nacre where proteins mediate inorganic–organic interactions.
