Samenvatting

A series of solvent‐free elastin‐like polypeptide liquid crystals and liquids are developed by electrostatic complexation of supercharged elastin‐like polypeptides with surfactants. The smectic mesophases exhibit a high elasticity and the values can be easily tuned by varying the alkyl chain lengths of the surfactants or the lengths of the elastin‐like polypeptides.
