Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is an emerging method for the preparation of block copolymer nano-objects at high concentrations. However, most PISA formulations have oxygen inhibition problems and inert atmospheres ( e.g. argon, nitrogen) are usually required. Moreover, the large-scale...
