Abstract

Remarkably rigid diphenylalanine peptide nanotubes are used as an organic nanofiller in an epoxy matrix, significantly increasing adhesive strength and toughness in addition to preserving the epoxy thermal and elongation properties. This effect exceeds the reinforcing effect of several known inorganic nanofillers, positioning the peptide nanotubes as an excellent nanofiller in composite materials.
