Over the past decade or so, polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) has become a versatile method for rational preparation of concentrated block copolymer nanoparticles with a diverse set of morphologies. Much of the PISA literature has focused on the preparation of well‐defined linear block cop...
