Abstract
Free‐standing polypeptide films are formed by a novel cross‐linking pathway involving cross‐chain terminations of polypeptide chains grown from multifunctional initiators. Greg G. Qiao, Frank Caruso, and co‐workers describe on page 4619 how this fabrication method provides a facile approach towards the formation of stable cross‐linked polypeptide capsules with tunable thickness, compositions, and enzymatic degradability.
