Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has attracted growing interest as facile fabrication process of polymer-based nanomaterials. However, PISA of acrylonitrile (AN) by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has remained an outstanding challenge due to the high activity of AN and poor so...
