Synthesis and characterization of bioinspired amphiphilic conjugates that selfassemble in water providing nanometric materials whose functions, size and morphology are optimized for applications in the field of drug delivery. These conjugates, obtained by combination of suitable synthetic and natural polymers, peptides, fatty acids and cholic acids, produce by bottom-up processes nanosystems with functional and structural properties that can be tuned to obtain materials responsive to pH, temperature and ionic strength.
