PiPo: random copolymers of C- with N-substituted glycines†
Abstract
Random copolymers of C- with N-substituted glycines (PiPo) were synthesized by carrying out a statistical copolymerization of N-phenyloxycarbonyl-C-substituted glycine (NPC) monomers with N-phenyloxycarbonyl-N-substituted glycine (NNPC) monomers. The copolymerization kinetics were analyzed in detail. The solubility of PiPo was found to highly depend on the compositions of the peptide and peptoid repeat units.
