Abstract

Disclosed herein are mixtures of triblock or pentablock copolypeptide hydrogels (DCH). These hydrogels possess improved mechanical properties, such as elasticity, that are synergistically increased over the individual component DCHs, to greater than would be expected for a linear combination of the components. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the triblock and pentablock copolypeptide hydrogels.
