The self‐assembly and self‐organization of peptoids, peptidomimetic polymers composed of N‐substituted glycine monomers, can result in a plethora of well‐defined organic nanostructures. Such classes of nanomaterials represent highly interesting functional platforms for many applications, for example, drug delivery, sensing, and catalysis. The main advantages of using self‐assembling peptoids to engineer organic nanostructures include their chemical diversity, biocompatibility, enzymatic stability, and ease of synthesis. The goal of this review is to present a comprehensive summary of the most relevant studies regarding the self‐assembling process of peptoids into zero‐, one‐, and two‐dimensional nanostructures, with a focus on their mechanism of formation and their potential applications.
