Essentially based on self-assembly and self-organization and mimicking the strategies that occur in Nature, peptide materials have been developed to accomplish certain functions such as the creation of specific secondary structures (a- or 310-helices, b-turns, b-sheets, coiled coils) or biocompatible surfaces with predetermined properties. They also play a key role in the generation of hybrid materials e.g. as peptide-inorganic biomineralized systems and peptide\/polymer conjugates, producing smart materials for imaging, bioelectronics, biosensing and molecular recognition applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganized into four sections, the book covers the fundamentals of peptide materials, peptide nanostructures, peptide
