Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) was achieved by conducting an initiators for continuous activator regeneration atom transfer radical polymerization (ICAR ATRP) at low ppm of copper catalyst concentration. A poly­(oligo­(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate)50 (POEOMA50) macroinitiat...
