Polymers on parade : Using multifunctional building blocks and a sophisticated combination of nanotechnological surface preparation techniques, lipoglycopolymers have been utilized to construct a new type of biomimetic cell membrane (see scheme; LB=Langmuir–Blodgett). For the first time, the selective photochemical immobilization of multifunctional polymeric amphiphiles on metal substrates with defined orientation of the supramolecular architecture has been demonstrated.
