Highly stable and self-repairing membrane-mimetic 2D nanomaterials assembled from lipid-like peptoids

Biomimetic membranes can be used for various applications such as sensors and separations. Here, Chen et al. report the assembly of lipid-like peptoids into stable and self-repairing 2D membrane nanomaterials that change in thickness when under external stimuli.
