Water‐soluble organic nanotubes were prepared by convergently conjugating polymers of hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and acrylic acid (AA) to self‐assembling cyclic octapeptides of alternating D and L chirality. The structure of the self‐assembled tubes was characterised in a number of polar solvents, and notably water, by using light scattering, TEM and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques. In addition, the self‐assembly into tubes could be controlled by exploiting the pH responsiveness of acrylic acid polymers.
