Connecting rods : Rigid rod–rod block copolymers are synthesized from peptide and polyisocyanide blocks (see picture: blue=poly(γ‐benzyl L ‐glutamate); red=poly(methylbenzyl isocyanide) or poly( L ‐isocyanoalanyl‐ L ‐alanine methyl ester). The polyisocyanide helix has side arms organized in a parallel β‐sheet (light blue). Some copolymers self‐assemble into ordered layers of hollow capsules.
