Peptide programming of supramolecular vinylidene fluoride ferroelectric phases

Nature, Published online: 09 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08041-4

A bio-inspired supramolecular material combines tiny amino acid sequences present in proteins with equally small segments of the plastic poly(vinylidene fluoride), yielding high-performance sustainable ferroelectric nanostructures with potential for future resorbable bioelectronics, ultra-low power devices, and large-scale information storage.
