We present the use of self assembling (cyclic peptide)-polymer conjugates as a means to obtain nanotubular structures of targeted dimensions with versatility to be functionalized. Adopting a convergent synthetic approach, microwave assisted copper(i) azide-alkyne cycloaddition was used in conjugating peptides to polymers and the subsequent self assembled structures were investigated. Here we report on our findings in achieving nanotubes of geometrically designed dimensions.
