NEWS FOR NEWARK FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE UD researchers report breakthrough N interdisciplinary Uni A versity of Delaware research team has made an important breakthrough in the design of environmentally responsive materials. Specifically, responsive hydrogels have been constructed from self-assembling peptides that ·could have far-reaching implications for the creation of innovative biomaterials. The team, which is led by Joel Schneider, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and Darrin Pochan, assistant profes sor of materials science and engi neering, has designed a hydrogel from a class of peptides that self assemble into a desired material , only after undergoing a molecu lar folding event, similar to the folding that is found in natural, biological proteins.
