A biomimetic approach has been used for the templated self‐assembly of a helical poly( para ‐aryltriazole) foldamer. The solvophobic folding process yields helices that further self‐assemble into long nanotubes (see picture; scale bar: 100 nm). Constructs of controlled length and chirality can be generated by applying a poly( γ ‐benzyl‐l‐glutamate) scaffold at the appropriate assembly conditions, mimicking tobacco mosaic virus self‐assembly.
